It's Alive is a platform for experimentation and new performing languages, with four sessions a year open to every performing arts discipline. In its 12th edition, artists selected through an open call present works in progress, up to 15 minutes each, across theatre, dance, music, performance, poetry, circus and other artistic languages, followed by an informal conversation with the audience. An afternoon to watch ideas come alive and be part of the creative process. Since its first edition, It's Alive has hosted 46 performances and more than 50 artists. Programmed by Esquiva × PAZ.
