Akoz sitiyasyon ijan ki mare lanmè tout zile karayib nou an kont tout fòm segregasyon kap rive nan tan sa a nan karayib la, nou deside kreye yon rankont ak tout atis karayib la nan achipèl Borikenn nan (Pòtoriko). Objektif prensipal rankont sa a se makònen pi plis epi fò echanje sou kreyasyon, sansibilite, resistans ak konesans ant vwazen Karayayib yo atravè pèfomans ak kreyasyon atis yo. Depi Pòtoriko, youn nan koloni ki pi ansyen nan monn nan, nap lanse yon envitasyon pou tout pwodiksyon ak pefomans ke tout atis ak kreyatè k ap viv sou zile karayib la poko pibliye. Premye edisyon Mar de Islas (Lanmè Zile yo), Rankont Pèfòmans atis Karayib la ap òganize soti 3 pou rive 9 mè nan lane 2021. Komite kap òganize Rankont lan ap chwazi 6 atis ki soti nan 6 zile diferan pou makònen lide epi kreye nan mitan nou sa nou rele Lanmè Zile yo. Twa (3) ki travay sou ekosistèm: Lanmè a, forè yo ak vil yo. Chak atis ap gen posiblite pou travay sou youn nan ekosistèm sa yo pou kreye yon pèfomans “in-situ”. Anvan presantasyon piblik pèfomans sa yo, kreyatè yo ap gen yon tan pou yo kreye travay yo. Ansanm ak pèfomans lan Rankont ap ofri  yon fòmasyon pedagojik atravè yon seri atelyè pèfomans pou tout piblik la. Atèlya sa yo se atis ki soti Pòtoriko kap ofri yo, ap geyen lòt atis tou ke nou pral chwazi nan pami lòt atis envite yo si yo vle patisipe. Rankont sa a ap geyen yon aktivite ouveti nan Inivèsite Pòtoriko ak yon brase lide ak tout aktivis, akademisyen, atis ak pansè ki soti nan Karayib la.

This encounter of Caribbean artists in the archipelago of Boriken (Puerto Rico) is born from the urgency of embodying our Sea of Islands as an antithesis to the current segregation of the Caribbean. The main objective is to unite and exchange creations, sensibilities, resistances and knowledge among our Caribbean islander neighbors, through the art of performance. From Boriken (Puerto Rico), one of the oldest colonies in the world, this call is launched for the production and presentation of original performance pieces by islander artists living in the Caribbean. This first edition of Mar de Islas performance encounter of the Caribbean will be held from the 3rd to the 9th of May 2021. 6 artists from 6 different islands will be selected to gather and create our Sea of Islands. 3 ecosystems are proposed: the sea, the forest and the city. Each artist will have the possibility of working in one of these ecosystems in order to create an on-site performance piece. The artists will have a residency period for creating the artworks prior to their public presentation. In addition to the performances the encounter will have a pedagogical offer through a series of performative workshops available to the general public. These workshops will be taught by local artists, but also by the selected artists who wish to offer a workshop. These workshops will be taught by local artists, as well as by the selected artists who wish to offer a workshop. The encounter will feature an opening act at the University of Puerto Rico with a discussion together with activists, academics, artists and thinkers from the Caribbean.
