The curtain fell on the 60th edition of the Carthage International Festival, concluding with an exceptional performance on the evening of Wednesday, August 19, 2026, by a unique artist, an icon of peace with a powerful voice and a dazzling presence—Majida El Roumi. The star who began her career in the 1970s and succeeded in building a distinctive artistic experience, blending singing with acting, appeared on the Carthage stage carrying peace and love, sharing with her audience the most beautiful moments of gratitude, affection, and joy.

The Lady of the Theatre, passionately mad about the stage, the Diva Amina Fakhet, met her audience on an exceptional night, August 17, 2026, as part of the 60th edition of the Carthage International Festival. The concert was musically orchestrated by the National Orchestra led by Maestro Youssef Belhani, with the participation of musicians from Algeria. It was a rendezvous with an artist unlike any other—an artist who made the stage her own kingdom and the audience her subjects, enchanting them with her voice, movement, and commanding presence.

On Tunisian Women's Day, coinciding with artist Nabiha Karaouli's concert as part of the Carthage International Festival, the ancient stage transformed into a space where memory intersected with celebration, and individual voice met collective consciousness. The evening was more than a musical performance; it was a tribute to an extended feminine legacy, and a celebration of an artistic journey that made Tunisian song a mirror of identity and the social and cultural transformations experienced by Tunisian women.

After a long absence, Lebanese artist Elissa greeted the Carthage International Festival audience through the gateway of memory, choosing to open her concert with a video documenting pivotal stages of her musical career. That moment was a journey through time, as Elissa and her audience together revisited the milestones that shaped her artistic glory, from humble beginnings to the summit she occupies today.

If dance is a language and a space for expression, it is also the voice of the body in all its states, stories, and worlds.
