As part of “Ramadan in the city” activities, The Opera Theatre of Tunis performed a musical titled “East 22” with an orchestra conducted by maestro Shadi al-Qarafi, accompanied by artists Asma Ben Ahmed, Hassan Doss and Thamer Abd al-Jawad.
“East 22” is a continuation of “East 2011” and “East 2011”, which are all pieces created by maestro Shadi al-Qarafi. Participants said that preserving Tunisian folklore and folk music by incorporating Arab music instruments provides it with a different aesthetic quality.
