It is interdisciplinary in nature (visual arts, circus, dance, exhibitions, music, oral storytelling, theatre) and presents new artistic creations, to be performed both indoors and outdoors, that are inspired by the cultural features of Catalonia and the entire Mediterranean area.

Priority is given to:

New performances, never staged before in Catalonia or Spain.

Which demonstrate their interest for the Fira as a business area.

The professional delegates registered in the last edition of the Fira.

The last edition of Fira received 956 applications, of which 122 were chosen. The programme is designed depending on the undertaking each group makes in the Fair as a potential business area, the infrastructural capacity, the companies’ professionalism and suitability to the various existing formats.

The deadline for submitting proposals is Friday 16th March 2012.
