I-ACT is the founder of the Creative Forum for Independent Theatre Groups in Egypt – a platform for contemporary theatre and an “anti-festival”, where formality is superseded by creativity. The Forum is also a meeting point for the independent theatre groups that work apart from official, governmental cultural institutions, working out a different artistic, creative and socio-political formula. I-ACT is also behind the international and multidisciplinary event Backstreet Festival which aims at spreading joy in Egypt and beyond through high-quality forms of contemporary arts.
Never Ending Circles was created by artists Horia Suru and Sophie Duncan with local performance artists in Alexandria, Egypt as part of the 2020 residency The Joy Project – an initiative of the Backstreet Festival.
