Khashabi is an independent Palestinain theatre in the city of Haifa. 

It was founded in 2011 as the artists’ collective Khashabe Ensemble. In 2015 the group achieved a physical space in the Wadi Salib neighborhood that was emptied from the majority of its original inhabitants 1948.  

 

Khashabi works towards a Palestinian society that freely practices art and creativity as a natural right, and strives to renew its cultural identity by placing independent culture front and centre.

 

Khashabi provides a space for artists to freely experiment, create, research and perform alternative forms of theatre and art, and space where social, political and artistic taboos can be challenged, creating an invigorating creative environment based on cooperation and mutual support.

Khashabi creates work through long-term journeys of artistic research and experimentation, emanating from human values which the ensemble wishes to question with local and global audiences.
