Performing Arts Festival
FIS is a festival that thinks, inspires, breathes and talks with itself. Thinks about working conditions, culture problems, the relationship between artists and the spaces that welcome artists and provide the much-desired relationship of closeness between audience and artist.
FIS - Solo Performing Arts Festival continues with the same purpose with which it began its activity in 2015, to serve as a platform for creation, production and dissemination, resisting and surviving each year to build a new year. To be a festival in motion: stages, proposals, performers, spectators and consciences in continuous movement, in continuous provocation and surprise.
A project where the concerns, challenges and solutions put forward by contemporary performance creation structures can be freely expressed. FIS - Festival de Artes Performativas a Solo represents a unique initiative for the city and the urban agglomeration in which it is located: a small-format but profoundly multidisciplinary festival that is not afraid to program in a risky way, proposing to the public, each year, new ways of seeing and interpreting what is structured on stage, calling on artists from inside and outside the city whose work does not always find as many reception spaces as it deserves.
With this project, we occupy a very idiosyncratic segment in the city's cultural offer and, by doing so, we seek to fix and retain the loyalty of an audience that, more often than not, will have to travel in search of similar proposals. For its conciseness and specificity, but also for the high technical and artistic quality of its agenda, this festival can and must work, increasingly, as one of the most important axes of programming in the area, thus assuming itself as a standard-bearer in the creation of a dynamic pole of intervention, reflection and support for the performing arts.
