NÓMADA INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL 2024
​
In June 2023, Nómada International Festival opens up an international call with deadline on July 28th, for foreign artists from street performance and non-conventional spaces in the categories of dance, physical theater (1), circus and performance (2). This is the 8th edition of the festival hosted in El Salvador.

Nómada gets applications from stage artists, companies, projects, groups and collectives from around the world for its fourth edition. It is important to highlight that it’s a street festival and the plays or art numbers must be specific and/or adaptables for urban landscapes and non-conventional spaces.

​
(1) Physical Theater: genre of theatrical performance that encompasses storytelling primarily through physical movement. Although several performance theatre disciplines are often described as "physical theatre," the genre's characteristic aspect is a reliance on the performers' physical motion rather than, or combined with, text to convey storytelling. Performers can communicate through various body gestures (including using the body to portray emotions).

(2) Performance:  avant-garde shows combining vast elements from different art languages like music, dance, theater and plastic arts.
