On Friday, the Outa Hamra crew will perform their interactive show "A Clown Street Performance," which they plan to take to every governorate in Egypt. Previous projects include several interactive performances dealing with refugees and street children. They were also part of Mahatat's large scale project 'Shawarena' (our streets) in 2012 bringing several forms of arts to the streets. Outa Hamra aim to use theatre as a means to achieve their social development goals by reaching marginalised audiences. The artists behind Outa Hamra are Aly Sobhy, Diana Calvo, Hany Taher, Ahmed Mostafa and Jakob Lindfors.
