General Information
Le Collectif Kahraba c’est un réseau d’artistes qui s’est progressivement créé avec la nécessité de partager des outils de travail, de nourrir des pratiques artistiques communes, et d’aller à la rencontre de publics de tous bords, toutes communautés confondues. Nous jouons sur les places des villages, dans les jardins publics, dans les bibliotheques et les écoles, dans les théâtres ou même en pleine nature, poussés par le désir d’adresser à l’autre des moments de beauté, de simplicité et de poésie. L’art est pour nous vecteur d’ouverture et de dialogue. C’est ainsi que se construit notre envie à créer des moments de partage et de rêve, et de continuer à interroger le monde dans lequel nous grandissons : ce qui le compose ou ne le compose plus, notre histoire, nos conflits, refaire du lien avec nos identités multiples, nos héritages, les "habiter" de manière contemporaine, les renouveler de manière artistique. Pleinement engagé sur la scène culturelle libanaise depuis sa création en 2007, le Collectif Kahraba est aussi invité à jouer ou collaborer dans plusieurs pays d’Europe mais aussi en Russie, au Japon, au Canada, en Egypte, au Senegal... Collective Kahraba is a performing arts company comprised of artists and technicians from different backgrounds that firmly believes that art is a trajectory towards openness and dialogue. It’s our gateway for meeting diverse publics from various communities and regions of Lebanon, as well as for developing international exchanges and partnerships. Collective Kahraba questions through its activities the world in which we grow, and faces the challenges of the changing perception of our identities.  
Mission and Objectives

Nous créons des spectacles, des événements, des rencontres en ayant comme priorité la mobilité, (régionale et internationale), l’exploration de formes variées (théâtre, marionnettes, danse, écritures contemporaines, vidéo...) et la réalisation de moments artistiques conviviaux.
Collective Kahraba works to:
-Create shared moments of togethernessand reverie, where everyone feels welcome to share dreams, joy and humour through stories brought to life through the actors and spectators.
- Bring performances to areas that never access cultural activities, make it free of charge to ensure accessibility to the largest number of people,
- Organize cultural interventions in the public spaces of the country, in all the different social realities where culture could play a rôle of change and developpement ( refugee camps, prisons, hospitals…)
We are artists concerned by initiating encounters and meetings, ties and collaborations, and sharing dreams, questions, engagements and approaches. Throught the art of encounter that generates our projects, we aim to foster imagination, critical thinking and curiosity, to raise each one’s responsability in the building process of a culture of peace.

Main Projects / Activities

Depuis sa création en 2006, le Collectif a réalisé plusieurs spectacles : “Arabiyetna”, “Voix dans le noir”, “Qu’on s’en souvienne mais qu’on ne le répète pas”, “Apple crumble”, “Ken fi asfour a chajara”, “Sab'a w 7”, “Chrebt el bahr wo ma ntafa nari”.
