The International Performing Arts Festival of Ushuaia TURBA invites applications from artists from South American countries (excluding Argentina) working in the field of movement arts – dance, performance and related practices – for its third edition, taking place from 15 to 25 April 2027 in Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego, Argentina.
TURBA is a festival dedicated to dance, theatre and the infinite fictions yet to be imagined. The festival is particularly interested in works framed within contemporary genres.
The open call will select two South American works, each featuring between one and two touring members. Works must be intended for adult audiences, adaptable to both theatre venues and unconventional spaces, and have a minimum duration of 40 minutes. Outdoor performances will not be selected due to the climatic conditions in Ushuaia. Applications accompanied by a pedagogical proposal, such as a workshop or talk, or another activity involving the local community, will be positively valued.
The call is open to artists from South American countries, excluding Argentina, working in movement arts. Only works involving a maximum of two touring members are eligible.
The festival will cover return travel from the artists’ city of origin to Ushuaia, accommodation for a maximum of three nights during the festival, and meal expenses through tickets, vouchers or a daily allowance. Selected artists will also receive an artistic fee for one performance, inclusive of rights and taxes. TURBA will provide support with the technical set-up and agree with each selected company on the scenic, technical and props materials to be provided. Any additional pedagogical or community activity will be paid, with 70% of the registration revenue allocated to the artist or company.
