Artistic Axis Session in Cairo Explores Cultural Identity
The article discusses a session from the Cairo International Festival for Experimental Theatre that focuses on the relationship between theatrical experimentation and cultural regions. It indicates that theatrical experimentation can adapt to the specific cultural traits of each region by incorporating local rituals, symbols, languages, and social practices, rather than copying ready-made models. The piece highlights that the concept of a cultural region extends beyond geographical borders to include symbols, rituals, and customs that span different areas, such as Voodoo in Haiti, Zaar in Egypt, and Gnawa in Morocco. This diversity enhances the ability of experimental theatre to express collective identity and cultural heritage. Studies confirm that theatrical experimentation contributes to shaping flexible and interactive identities by activating collective memory, engaging audiences, and transforming space into an active element in meaning production. This opens new horizons for strengthening the uniqueness of Arab theatre and developing its artistic models based on cultural regions and their specificities.
