Selling Performances, Buying Performances
Held every two years, MASA is now an international biennial that, for one week, brings together artists, performing arts professionals, programmers, and audiences from all five continents. It offers a unique framework for the promotion, distribution, training, showcasing, and professionalization of the performing arts, while fostering encounters and exchanges among cultural stakeholders worldwide.
An Exclusive Platform for Encounters Between Artists and Programmers
The originality of MASA lies in its unique format, which combines a performing arts market, a professional exchange forum, training programs, and a popular festival spread across several neighborhoods of Abidjan.
The MASA Market presents performances by artistic groups selected through an open call, reviewed by an International Artistic Committee (CAI) composed of both national and international experts. These performances are attended by programmers and performing arts professionals from around the world, offering artists an exceptional showcase.
