CINARS fair, which will take place from 12th to 17th November, was founded by performing arts producers back in 1984. The event is regularly attended by delegates from Europe, North and South America, and Asia. In 2016 CINARS presented 370 exhibitors and 180 observers. The fair also includes workshops, seminars, national and international showcases of performing arts. CINARS is a biennale with the goal to support exchange of information on theatre, dance and music events all around the world. It also focuses on establishing or deepening of personal contacts, which are preconditions for successful exchange of projects, cooperation, guest performances, residencies and support of artists’ mobility.
