Tota Tota… and the story begins "Trailer"

Tota Tota is an artistic collaboration between Ettijahat- Independent Culture, Shams Association and Collectif Kahraba. This nine-month project aims to develop the artistic skills and expressive capabilities of a group of talented, young Palestinian and Syrian refugees by creating a framework that brings them together with a group of students from the Institute of Fine Arts at the Lebanese University. The participants are aged between 16 and 26 years old, and reside in various refugee camps in Lebanon (Shatila, Burj el-Barajneh , Al Rahmeh, Ain El-Helweh and Al Beddawi). The main purpose of this project is to provide participants with enriching artistic experiences that provoke them to ask deeper questions about their reality and their future, thus encouraging them to develop their artistic talents and enhancing their relationships with their surroundings in Lebanon. This reinforces positive attitudes and social awareness when dealing with everyday challenges and helps to create a profound dialogue with various sectors of the public, attempting to defy conventional stereotypes. The project consists of an artistic training program over several months, led by a group of Syrian, Lebanese, and foreign professional artists focusing on various forms of artistic expression, and ends with a theatrical performance that will be tour all over Lebanon.
