Freetown Performance Festival
Fourteen participants meet in Sierra Leone for the first performance festival in the public space of Freetown.

The festival is focused on performance art as a sovereign form of art in contemporary context.

The Freetown Performance Festival celebrates the diversity of Freetown’s performing arts community in the public space. The most crucial media of performance art – the presence of the artist, the body, time and duration, space, relationship with the spectators – may be combined with music, philosophy, poetry, sculpture, dance, cinematography, sculptural objects, installations, as well as non-art, for example, everyday objects, equipment and tools.
