No video selected.

INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL FOR EMERGING PERFORMING ARTISTS

ACT is a festival that, year by year and during four days, brings together around 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 pieces contest, open to companies and proposals that want to apply and participate in the festival.
ACT launches a call for international and emerging performing artists who have scenic works of maximum 30 minutes. The
festival is committed to companies that take risks in their proposals and new formats and scenic languages.

CONTEST.
We look for scenic pieces of emerging creators with a maximum duration of 30 minutes. They can be
performance, danza, textual theatre, circus… any of the existing scenic languages. If on the stage the duration is exceeds the
agreed 30 minutes, the piece may be penalized.

The selected works will be shown during ACT Festival according to the program. ACT will have the rights to broadcast the
videos of the show sent, extracting fragments of the selected works for publicity, as well as the publication of the
photos to promote the event before and around the dates of the festival. An international and independent jury
composed by different professionals of performing arts will fail the winners the last day of the festival.
