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.Israel (Boston, Mass.)FestivalsPerforming arts festivalsIsraelIsraelAcreFestivals.Performing arts festivals394.26Shem-Ṭov Naftaliauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut.1879865DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910967188903321Acco Festival4493424UNINA
