Kash Kash (Germany)

29 July | 16h00

My hometown, Beirut, is torn apart by a corrupt political elite, anti-government protests, and one of the biggest explosions of the 21st century. But above the roofs of the city, I discovered an unexpected bearer of hope: the pigeon game of chance “Kash Hamam”.

Every evening the sky populates, and all over the city swarms fly out of their cages. Their flight follows the choreography of an ancient tradition. Each player holds their own flock and lets it circle over the houses, with the chance to lure the pigeons of the neighbours to expand their flock.
