DIRECTOR'S NOTE

The very first Laos-Europe, Itinerant Performing Art Festival is programmed from December 8th to 10th, 2023, as an opening of the FMK festival.

The Itinerant Performing Art Festival - Laos Europe, funded by the European Union in Lao PDR, jointly organized by the European Chamber of Commerce in Lao PDR, Beasts on the Moon - Les Bêtes sur la Lune, FMK International Dance Festival - ຟັງແມ່ຂອງ and Fanglao Dance Company, aims to bring together visiting European artists and local lao companies, in discipline such as music, drama, puppetry and contemporary dance, and to collaborate. The specificity of this festival is that it encourage dialogue from a culture to another. This is the place to see european artists giving their takes on lao classical tales or French musician incorporating a lao khene musician to their band.

Another particularity of this festival is also that it is itinerant. This will give the public the opportunity to discover performances in several cultural place of the capital indoors and outdoors, namely at Germanyinlaos INSTITUT FRANÇAIS et Fanglao BlackBox thus artists are expressing their visions through various formats and places.

Besides the main program of the Festival (i.e. the live performances) other events such as workshops will be organized to create a favorable atmosphere for collaborative experimentation in the creative process and international cooperation in Arts. The festival is meant to be a celebration of the richness and diversity of the creativity of local artists in Lao PDR, encompassing a variety of contemporary and traditional art forms, but also to drive the artistic creativity by inviting international artist to showcase their arts and collaborate on local stage. Indeed, this program presents itself as a multidisciplinary event that promotes participatory interaction.

For the duration of the Itinerant Performing Art Festival - Laos Europe and then during FMK International Dance Festival - ຟັງແມ່ຂອງ, the city of Vientiane will be populated by performances with innovative languages, enhancing the new derivations of contemporary performing art, without forgetting the traditional cultural baggage in a single festival full of stimuli and suggestions.

Our team have worked hard on this program and sincerely hope this festival will become a highlight of Lao’s cultural highlights.
