If short storytelling through theatrical work is your thing, then Dubai’s The Junction has something very interesting for you.

One of the coolest events in Dubai’s theatre space, the Short+Sweet Theatre Dubai 2022 is back and the registrations for the festival has opened.

The theatre festival is inviting anyone who is an actor, director, stage manager, scriptwriter or member of an independent theatre company to come and tell their stories. But what’s the twist? You have to convey a story in just ten minutes.

The time-bound theatre festival is a global festival brand that has presented highly successful theatre, dance, cabaret, and song festivals around the world. The festival began as a small festival of 10 minute plays in Sydney, Australia, and have grown into a global organisation.

Short+Sweet Dubai is celebrating its 10th Anniversary this year and is taking place at The Junction, Alserkal Avenue from January 14 to March 12, 2022. The event is open to people of all ages and backgrounds, and participants can choose any language or format to perform in.

The Short+Sweet Festival aims to develop the artistry and craft of acting, directing, writing, dancing, choreography, singing, and other forms of theatre-making in a short period of time.

They aim at showcasing performances and create a platform for artists to share their work as theatre practitioners get a chance to showcase their performance skills and tell stories.

Through their short format, they aim to stimulate and entertain audiences with 10-minute works, as they believe short-form theatre can move audiences as effectively as long-form.
