Summary:

This research follows the history of the Acco Festival for Other Israeli Theatre from 1980-2012, chronicling it as a site of celebration as well as confrontation. The Acco Festival is presented as a borderland that brings together established mainstream directors and actors, alternative artists from the fringes, and Acco's Jewish and Arab residents. The book explores the festival's artistic direction; repertoire; organization, budget, and infrastructure; reception; and the Acco host community.
