During the opening, eight renowned theater figures from Egypt, the Arab world and the international scene will be honored for their contributions to theater.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, a special ceremony celebrating Egypt\u2019s National Theatre Day, on September 5, will be held, also honoring artists in theater.<\/p>\n<p>The festival\u2019s 27th edition is headed by Alaa Abdel Aziz Suleiman who has introduced numerous changes to the event.<\/p>\n<p>One of the fundamental decisions taken by Suleiman is bringing back the festival\u2019s original name \u2014 the Cairo International Festival for Experimental Theatre \u2014 which it held from its founding in 1988 until 2010. The festival\u2019s continuity was interrupted by the January 2011 \u2013 when President Mohamed Morsi was deposed \u2013 and the many changes that took place in Egypt\u2019s artistic scene in the following years. After a five-year hiatus, the festival returned in 2016, with its 23rd edition and a new name: The Cairo International Festival for Experimental and Contemporary Theatre (CIFCET).<\/p>\n<p>Suleiman also decided to bring back the festival\u2019s competitiveness, which characterized the event between 1988 and 2010.<\/p>\n<p>Suleiman announced that Fawzi Fahmy will be the festival\u2019s honorary president.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In its 27th edition, the Cairo International Festival for Experimental Theatre (CIFET) will invite audiences to performances held across Egyptian theaters, in addition to several online shows.
