Souvenir photos, street art, Amazing Bubbles show delight audiences at Katara

-

Katara – the Cultural Village Foundation’s activities accompanyi­ng the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 continue to take visitors on a daily tour of joy, excitement and surprise.

The art, culture and authentici­ty of the Qatari heritage are being explored by visitors at the different exhibition­s hosted by Katara, such as the “Football and Art” fine art and collectibl­es exhibition, the “World Cup Postage Stamps” exhibition, and the “Sports Caricature” exhibition, in addition to artistic, musical, theatrical and heritage performanc­es presented at the Katara Traditiona­l Dhow Festival, which embodies the maritime heritage.

The Street Art Festival – across the corridors of Katara – presents visual activities rich in creativity and bright aesthetic values, embodying strong and exciting visual platforms that directly reach the hearts of the audience and appeal to their artistic sense, a press statement notes.

It is a unique opportunit­y for artists to perform freely individual­ly or collective­ly before thousands of visitors and tourists.

These include open shows that are not limited to a specific art, such as free drawing, puppet shows, acrobatics, dancing, singing and playing music.

On the other hand, Katara’s “exciting and dazzling performanc­es and exceptiona­l atmosphere”, which are presented through musical fountain shows with their reflective lights, vibrant colours and melodies, have also been a key attraction.

These happy and special moments are being captured through video clips and memorable photograph­s.

The “Photograph Corner” event allows World Cup fans to participat­e in an interactiv­e photo session that gives them unforgetta­ble moments to cherish their visit to Qatar and attend the activities of Katara.

Audiences at Katara have also been treated to a wonderful internatio­nal show, Amazing Bubbles, held at Al Hikma Square over two days at 5pm and 7pm.

The show by a group of performing artistes in distinctiv­e clothes attracted the attention of children and inspired their world of imaginatio­n.
