Expanding to Jordan

Building on our foundation in Lebanon, we expanded into Jordan, launching our first Cycle with children in Amman’s Citadel community. This year also saw the birth of Studio, our strand of professionally directed theatre productions. Our first, The Metamorphosis After Franz Kafka, showcased a new model for high-quality participatory theatre that could reach broader audiences while staying rooted in the voices of our communities.

  • The Village without Colour

    Our first show in Jordan told the story of a village that had lost all its colour. Could the villagers solve the mystery, confront the lonely dragon, and bring colour back to their world? This production was later adapted into a children’s storybook, The Queendom of Colours.

  • The Metamorphosis After Franz Kafka

    Our first Studio production brought together Syrian, Palestinian, and Lebanese participants to challenge polarisation. The show was an adaptation of Franz Kafka’s play, interwoven with their own personal stories of transformation.

  • Staging Sisterhood

    We began developing a cross-country production with a women’s group in Lebanon and another in the UK, which was showcased the following year.

  • Performance at Al Madina Theatre

    The cast of The Metamorphosis After Franz Kafka performed at Al Madina Theatre, one of Beirut’s leading independent cultural venues. The theatre has long been a hub for diverse artistic voices.

  • The Kingdom of Sweets

    In this colourful Showbuild, the people long for their queen to grant their sugary wishes. But will she give them what they want – or something entirely unexpected?
