eKomunidad Asia Performance Festival:
Bridging Artists, Audiences, and Performances in Asia
There’s nothing to stop creation, even at the face of an ongoing global pandemic. The limitations set by the pandemic proved to go beyond as hurdles but as opportunities to generate new ways of co-creating, gathering, and exchanging together.
This 2021, The Japan Foundation, Manila together with Komunidad X launches eKomunidad Asia Performance Festival, a 3-year multi-platform performance initiative for development of new transfield co-creations, for online presentation of works from Asia, and for the continuing education of artists and audiences in Asia.
The hybrid festival of performance-makers will be hosted on the kXchange.org website that will run from November 5 to November 20, 2021. The website will feature an option to access the site in English and Japanese language.
