In its fifth edition this year, the Backstreet Festival will bring a tantalizing range of artistic activities to Alexandria, including films, clowning, creative visual technologies, puppets and an a cappella band.

The multidisciplinary festival takes place between 12 and 16 April across several venues in Alexandria: including the Jesuit Cultural Center, the Saint Gabriel Sporting Club, the French Institute of Alexandria, the Spanish Consulate and Teatro Eskendria.

The opening day featured the performances Fault ‎Line from British multimedia artist Rebecca Smith, followed by BandArt from Spain, who will present Ann-Droid–The Wonderful Adventures Of A Robot Girl.
