- Performances inside the old medina’s courtyards and historic sites — The festival stages music, theater and dance in tiny riad courtyards, Ottoman-era mansions and ancient mosques, so the architecture becomes part of the show. It’s intimate, echo-y and impossible to reproduce in a modern venue.
- Traditional music and Sufi rituals — Expect Malouf, Andalusi ensembles and Sufi chant/danse that root the program in Tunisia’s spiritual and musical history. These sets aren’t just a museum piece; they’re living traditions performed by local masters.
- Street theatre, visual art and site-specific installations — Performers and artists take over alleys, plazas and stairways with pop-up theatre, light pieces and murals. It turns aimless wandering into accidental discoveries — you’ll stumble on things
