Six international dance and theatre performances will take place across Las Palmas<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Wednesday 15 December, the programme for day two of the fourth edition of the South Atlantic Performing Arts Market, MAPAS, will see the networking event and six showcase performances take place at leading cultural venues across Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Entry to all the showcase performances at MAPAS 2021 is free but tickets must be reserved at mapasmercadocultural.com.<\/p>\n

Programmers from 33 different countries will be gathering at the MAPAS networking event at Edificio Miller, where they\u2019ll meet 73 theatre, dance and circus arts groups from Africa, Latin America and southern Europe. The aim of the event is to encourage mobility and inclusion of South Atlantic performing arts in leading cultural distribution circuits.<\/p>\n

Artists, booking, management and distribution agencies and cultural managers or programmers will be able to connect directly at a series of scheduled meetings. These meetings will last for 12 minutes, bringing the supply (artistic groups or agencies) and demand (programmers at cultural venues, festivals and other events) sides of the performing arts sector face to face so that they can set up partnerships, deals or agreements.<\/p>\n

The networking events are a cornerstone of MAPAS. Based on a scheduling platform developed by the organisers, the successful model has enhanced MAPAS\u2019s reputation on the world stage.<\/p>\n

MAPAS will also be awarding the Cart\u00f3grafo Ilustre Award 2021 to Casa \u00c1frica on Wednesday, rewarding the organisation\u2019s commitment to promoting and developing African culture beyond the continent\u2019s borders. The awards ceremony will take place at Edificio Miller at the end of the networking event.<\/p>\n

As well as these professional activities, six international performances will be held at theatres in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. They are open to the general public but free tickets must be booked online. The first performance will be held at Teatro Guiniguada at 16:00, where Poliana Lima will perform \u2018Hueco\u2019, a contemporary dance solo exploring identity.<\/p>\n

At 17:10, the A\u00efda Colmenero D\u00edaz company will be performing \u20182 de noviembre, el quitador de miedos\u2019 (2 November, The Fear Remover) at the CICCA. The play explores fears surrounding birth and death. The Canarian companies Natalia Medina Dance Company and C\u00eda N\u00f3mada will be performing \u2018Petitdanza\u2019 and \u2018El Pastor\u2019 (The Shepherd) at Teatro P\u00e9rez Gald\u00f3s and Sala Insular de Teatro at 17:20 and 18:30 respectively.<\/p>\n

At Teatro Cuy\u00e1s at 20:20, Congolese company Espace Tin\u00e9 will be bringing their show \u2018Rhapsodie\u2019 to MAPAS.
