Open Call: Shared Trade Fair Stand at the 35rd Internationale Kulturbörse Freiburg (IKF, or Freiburg International Culture Exchange) from January 22 to 25, 2023

The Internationale Kulturbörse (Freiburg International Culture Exchange, or IKF) has been taking place each year since 1989 and features approximately 400 international presenters and is one of the most important networking events for those working in the fields of street theater, aerial arts, contemporary circus, puppet and object theater as well as cabaret in the German-speaking world. In 2023, the 35th edition of the IKF will be held at its usual location on the Freiburg trade fair grounds. The Berlin Performing Arts Program will be represented by a shared trade fair stand and is offering Berlin-based artists the opportunity to present themselves and their work there.

A prerequisite for taking part is a long history of professional work within the independent performing arts and a primary residence in Berlin. In addition, each participant must have at least one production that has already premiered and is capable of being toured that can be presented at the trade fair with corresponding print and possibly video trailer material (max. three minutes in length).

We would like to give as many artists as possible the option of taking part, but we do reserve the right to make a selection on the basis of the promotional material provided in the event that there are more applicants than there is space. 

Anyone who would like to take part is asked to please send a binding application including links with informative digital promotional material (trailer, websites, flyers in PDF form, et cetera - and please send large files in the form of a link to download the files) with the subject “IKF 2023” by November 13, 2022 to: messe [at] pap-berlin.de.
