ACT INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL FOR EMERGING PERFORMING ARTISTS

ACT is a three-day festival that brings together annually a hundred of participants and guests from around the world. The festival has four main sections: the pedagogical program, ACTmosfera encounters, the exhibition shows and the short play competition, open to companies willing to take part in the festival. 

ACT launches a call for emerging artists on the international scene who have works of maximum 30 minutes. The festival is committed to companies that take risks in their proposals and new formats and scenic languages. ACT´s main goal is to promote and share the work of new creators with the audience, cultural managers, programmers and the media. To do so,  the festival facilitates spaces for reflection and debate, besides a remarkable pedagogical program for the participating performers. ACT is not only a festival but also a performing arts fair attended by programmers from around the world.

The festival covers the accommodation of the company’s interpreters and the necessary technical team; breakfasts, lunches and dinners are also included in the invitation, as well as passes for all the activities that take place during the 3 days of the festival, including workshops, talks and all the programmed shows. The festival does not cover transport costs, they must assumed by the company or other institutions. Accommodation is offered in shared rooms with other artists.
