Qantawi Festival Director Cites Challenges
The presentation of the 42nd edition of the Kanatawi Festival program in Hammam Sousse was affected by various obstacles and challenges, the most prominent of which was the difficulty in obtaining the necessary permits to use the Boulali Hiwari Stadium. This led to the cancellation of several major performances, including concerts by Lilaihib Taufiq, Mortada Al-Fetiti, Ziad Ghrssa, and Nabila Kraoui. Despite approval to use the stadium, the authorities faced restrictions such as the requirement of a movable stage, the prohibition of chairs, and limitations on grass usage. The director confirmed that the festival programs were modest, with a collective resignation threat before the permits were finally granted. The program included only five performances, among them the opening show "We All Sing" and a performance by the Kaso rap group, amid ongoing challenges related to administrative and financial procedures.
