Launching Pergola Arts Theatre

Pergola Arts Theater by CLUSTER THISS STUDIO AND ORIENt producTIONS

Pergola is a new permanent theatre and public plaza, a place for gathering, celebration, performance, and cultural exchange in one of Cairo’s public green spaces.

Located in Agouza Children’s Park, Pergola embodies a living idea of how our cities can evolve, in a way that is sustainable, creative, and open to everyone. As a direct and imaginative response to the increasing commercialization of public green spaces, Pergola reclaims the park as a vibrant hub for culture, community, and shared experience.

What’s On?

The launch event, curated by Orient Productions and featured in D-CAF, will bring together both traditional and contemporary art forms; showcasing the powerful versatility of Pergola as a venue and cultural space.

Join us on 10–11 October 2025 at the 13th Edition of D-CAF for a two day programme featuring dance, theatre, music, and more.
