Description:

An esteemed international performing arts festival, celebrating its 41st annual edition with the theme 'In Network,' invites artists to participate in its December 2026 event in Salvador, Brazil. This festival is dedicated to fostering global connections among artists, techniques, and audiences. Two distinct opportunities are available: 1. **International Artistic Call**: Artists, groups, and companies are invited to submit predominantly circus-based performances, acts, or pieces for consideration. 2. **Residency Program**: Ten participants, aged 18 and above, will be selected for an intensive development experience. This program focuses on technical mastery, creative exploration, and collaborative practices, culminating in a public showcase. Special consideration for residency scholarships will be extended to individuals identifying as Black, trans, indigenous, or from low-income backgrounds. This initiative is proudly supported by national cultural funding, championing connection, collaboration, and the diverse expressions within contemporary circus.
