projects of this year's festival has emerged under the leadership of curator Antonio Arevalo. Probably
one of the most important representatives of performance art of the 21st century Regina Jose

the first time in Europe. Often rewarded Chilean artist Ivan Navarro is presenting one of his recent
light installations, Ronald Moran and Marlon de Azambuja will prepare a spatial installation, Maria
