Sinai festival tackles Egyptian issues through theater
The second annual Sharm el-Sheikh International Festival for Youth featured theater performances covering topical issues in Egypt such as illegal immigration, the Islamic State, terrorism and war.
With a message of fighting terrorism through the art of theater, the Sharm el-Sheikh International Festival for Youth (SITFY) brought together performers from around the world to share their stories and give Egyptians a taste of other cultures.
For its second run, from April 1-8, the festival hosted 18 theater performances from 15 different countries, including Egypt, France, Iraq, Italy, Kuwait, Mexico, Oman, Spain, South Korea and Tunisia, temporarily transforming the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh into a cultural hotspot of events.
