D’reesha Performing Arts Festival

Overview

D’reesha is an outlet for connectedness and self-expression, bringing the community together to celebrate global performing arts while highlighting Arab culture, language and heritage.

This year, D’reesha is making a comeback for the second edition coinciding with the 2022 FIFA World Cup Qatar, on non-match days at Education City.

Qatar Foundation is fueling visitors' experiences by highlighting Islamic and Arab cultures in this year’s edition. Inspired by the travels of Muslim explorer Ibn Battuta across the Middle East and Afro-Eurasia, the festival will follow the overarching theme of ‘Travel & Adventure’ across different disciplines including music, theatre, poetry, storytelling, education, science and much more.

Travel & Adventure is not only about exposing the audience to new parts of the world, but about building a deeper understanding between our cultures and educating the visitors about Arab cultures in an entertaining yet engaging way. The journey of the festival will further help to capture the Golden Age of Islam in a more modern way.
