21st Macau Arts Festival

May 1-29, 2010

        Featuring over 70 performances by 25 acts from 20 different countries, including Portugal, Brazil, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Spain, Finland, Peru, Cuba, the USA, Canada and Australia, this Festival season is wonderfully diverse, but would not be complete without the ever-present spirit of performers from Macau on the calendar, as well.
        In a clear show of support for local talent, Macau artists are given the opportunity to début works reflecting the region's own performing arts scene, while on the international front, the Festival reaffirms itself as a window to the latest creative trends to emerge on stages the world over. The programme brings together theatre, dance, music, circus, multimedia and visual arts, in a selection extending as well to Cantonese opera, officially inscribed on the UNESCO List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2009 through the joint efforts of the Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macau Governments .......
