International tours
One of El-Funoun’s aims is to
spread an important aspect of Palestinian cultural identity through its
performances worldwide. El-Funoun receives annually invitations through cultural
organizations, or by Palestinian delegations in Diaspora for participating in
festivals, artistic events and marking important ceremonies.
Since its establishment, El-Funoun rejects any involvement to any type of
event or activity that advocates or engages in “normalization” with Israel.
To date, El-Funoun has
performed internationally as follows:
