Organised for the second time by Makan in Amman, Meeting Points is an art festival created by the Young Arab Theater Fund in Brussels. In cooperation with local persons or institutions, this edition of the festival toured seven cities in the region, Beirut, Damascus, Cairo, Alexandria, Minia, Tunisia and Amman and featured eighteen theatre, contemporary dance, music and visual artists from Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan, Syria and Tunisia.
