From Thursday 30 November to Thursday 21 December 2023, the Jewish cultural festival 'Nessiah' ('journey' in Hebrew) returns.
Nessiah was founded in 1997, to entertain with entertainment, to introduce different cultures and to enhance the area. The event aims to represent a journey in a culture that is itself on the move, in continuous evolution thanks to which it is charged with countless facets, without ever betraying its identity.
Nessiah, a journey into the Jewish cultural imaginary, is music, culture, figurative arts, literature, cinema, theatre.
Admission free while places last.
