About this app

Basita is where the world's stage comes to you.

Theatre, film, music, storytelling, workshops and talks; streamed live from Cairo, Beirut, Amman, the Gulf and beyond, or premiered for you to watch at the time announced. Whether you left the region years ago or simply live too far from the venue, Basita puts you in the audience.

DISCOVER
• Browse what's coming up, what's streaming now, and what's on tonight
• Explore by art form, by language, or by festival
• Read about the artists and organisations behind each event
• Follow the ones you love and see their new events first

WATCH
• Live streams and scheduled premieres, in high quality
• Trailers before you decide
• Subtitles where the artist has provided them
• Event times shown in your own timezone, so you never miss a curtain
• Live chat with the rest of the audience while the event is running

FOR ARTISTS AND ART ORGANISATIONS
Basita is not only for audiences. If you make the work, the app carries the tools with you:
• Create an event from your phone — schedule, price, language, age
guidance, country availability and collaborators
• A dashboard showing your last thirty days: page views, unique
visitors, bookings, where your audience came from, and your earnings
• Manage each event's reports, promo codes, referrals and campaigns
• A streaming centre for going live
• Message other creative users directly
• Invite collaborators and credit everyone properly

Apply to become a creative user from inside the app, and once approved your profile joins the Creative Users directory alongside every other artist and organisation on Basita.

IN ARABIC AND ENGLISH
The whole app, interface and content alike, works in both languages. Switch whenever you like.
