Hakawati
Share a story over a meal at Parramatta's El Phoenician.
Overview
Hakawati is an Arabic/Lebanese word meaning storyteller. This event at Sydney Festival takes us into the Middle Eastern tradition of sharing a meal and a story over a meal. The National Theatre of Parramatta is teaming up with the institution that is the El Phoenician dining room to lay on dinner and a show that transports you deep into a world of mythical tales with a distinctively Sydney flavour. Hakawati was the major form of entertainment in many Arabic communities before television arrived, so ditch your TV for the night and get old-school with some storytelling.
This program is one of ten Sydney Festival events happening in unexpected places. Check out the whole list.
