Today, the group tackles gender tensions and dynamics from the perspective of both men and women. This year, the Bussy repertoire includes new stories that revolve around themes of harassment and the female body.
The Hakaya Festival will bring performers from Palestine, Lebanon, France, Ireland, Iran, Egypt, India and Jordan together to explore the arts of storytelling.
