The D'reesha Performing Arts Festival, organised by the Qatar Foundation, has become a venue for bringing together creative groups and artists from across the world and fostering cross-cultural engagement. According to the Qatar Foundation, the third iteration of D'reesha 2023 will take place from December 1 to December 5 in Oxygen Park and Al-Khater House in Education City.
The D'reesha Performing Arts Festival is an exceptional occasion that highlights many talents in genres such as poetry, music, drama, and more. By showcasing both international performing arts and Arab culture, it connects the neighbourhood. The festival provides a unique setting for an in-depth performance experience. In order to expose their voices, skills, and stories and to fully realise their limitless creative potential, the Qatar Foundation is calling budding artists from all around the nation to register as performers.
The deadline to sign up to perform at D'reesha 2023 is October 15.
The dedication of the Qatar Foundation to promoting, maintaining, honouring, and reinforcing the distinct character and spirit of Qatar and the Arab world by fusing tradition with contemporary is one of the fundamental components of the organization's focus on community development.
The second D'reesha edition took place in Qatar during the FIFA World Cup 2022, and it became a forum for cross-cultural interaction. The festival featured a range of performances in Arabic and English over the course of seven days, including theatre, visual arts, music, and poetry.
The festival, which focused on the essential foundations of the Arab world and its culture under the theme "Travel and Adventure," promoted, preserved, and celebrated the region's identity and spirit by fusing tradition with contemporary for a memorable and informative experience. With an interdisciplinary approach, D'reesha 2022 combined science, research, education, and society. The festival showcased how the Education City of the Qatar Foundation is a knowledge hub that encourages lifelong learning and inquiry.
