Kulkue Open Call ends on 1 March – Apply now!

Kulkue, a joint project of ANTI Festival, Baltic Circle Festival and Hangö Teaterträff, will produce new works of performing arts and propose a new touring model during 2022–2024. As part of the project, the works will tour different festival cities; Kuopio, Hanko and Helsinki, always creating a relationship with the local environment.

Now the festivals call for performance proposals inspired by space, environment or community. The open call ends on 1.3.2022 (23.59 EET).

The artists selected for the project will be invited to a dialogue with three festivals and three different cities. ANTI Festival, Baltic Circle Festival and Hangö Teaterträff offer artists the opportunity to work long-term in the festival context and to experiment with different forms, practices and production methods.

We invite new work proposals from artists working in the independent field of performing arts in Finland. A proposal can be a raw idea, a desire to try new practices or work in interaction with a particular environment or community. Projects already underway are also welcome.
