Panel discussion: The Role of Artists in Shaping the Saudi Theater

This panel explores the evolving role of artists in shaping the identity, narrative and direction of Saudi theater. As the Kingdom experiences a cultural renaissance, artists—playwrights, directors, performers and designers—are at the forefront of this transformation. The discussion will examine how artistic voices are influencing content, form and audience engagement, while also navigating tradition and modernity. The panel will also touch on the institutional and public platforms that support or challenge artistic growth within the Saudi theatrical landscape.
