Call for artists

ACT International Festival for Emerging Performing Artists 22th edition will take place in Bilbao and Barakaldo from 4th to 7th of june, 2025.

ACT is an annual festival that, for the duration of four days, brings together around a hundred of participants and guests from all over the world. The festival has four main sections: the pedagogical program, ACTmosfera encounters, the exhibition shows and the short pieces contest, which is open to companies willing to 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 support companies that take risks and bring new formats and scenic languages.

ACT´s main goal is to promote and spread the work of new creators to the audience, cultural managers, programmers and the media. In order to achieve this, the festival facilitates spaces for meetings, reflection and debate, besides an exceptional 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.
