Beirut Theatre to close down


Beirut Theatre is going to close down due to the decision of the owners of the real estate.
This theatre represents the cultural and theatrical heritage of the Lebanese citizens for accomodating most of the theatrical movements since 1964 till now. It has played important social and cultural roles throughout many wars, and thus it has become the never dying heart of the cultural city.
We demand that the Lebanese Ministry of Culture would acknowlegde its own responsibility in labeling Beirut theatre as a cultural heritage space and thus saving it . The passive role that the ministry is playing would demolish the Lebanese cultural life.
This is not the first theatre to close down. Enough with cultural terrorism!!
Please sign your name and join the Sit-In infront of the Ministry of Culture on Wednesday 21st of December at 10:30am
