Egyptian Chronicles Egypt That You Don't Know

#OccupyMinCulture : Street Ballet Jun 9th 2013, 23:11 In case you do not know, I missed covering the Occupy Ministry of culture movement that started last week. Ago of intellectuals, authors, artists and actors occupied the ministry of culture in Zamalek as an escalation for their demand to dismiss the minister of culture Alaa Abdel Aziz. Now every night at the HQ of the ministry in Zamalek artists present shows for the people in the small street. Of course these intellectuals and artists are being attacked day and night by MB's supporters and allies. Last night the artists presented parts of Ballet Zorba in the street. [View the story "Street Zorab Ballet " on Storify] This is dedicated to the Salafist MPs who left everything in the country and wanted to ban Ballet. Amazingly hundreds go and watch these daily shows in solidarity with the artists. I believe this is the richest culturally sit in we had since Tahrir sit in July 2011 when we used to have concerts , Tweet Nadwas and Tahrir Cinema.
