SIPAM Global Pitch

Ten Artists and Companies Showcase Their Work

---

Out of more than 120 submissions from around the world, ten projects survived a demanding selection to reach the SIPAM Global Pitch — the Market’s flagship showcase, where chosen artists and companies present their work live to an international audience of programmers and producers. A jury of distinguished performing-arts leaders made the cut, weighing each project for artistic vision, contemporary relevance, and its real potential for touring, co-production, and collaboration.

The selected works come from Ukraine, the United Kingdom, Spain, Hungary, and Romania, and span theatre, dance, circus, aerial performance, and interdisciplinary formats. Across a single afternoon, each project is pitched to a room full of the people who can move it onto international stages — the presenters, festival directors, and producers who turn a promising idea into a touring reality. More than a competition, the Pitch is an act of matchmaking between new work and the global market that might carry it forward. Open to the public and free to attend, it embodies what SIPAM exists to do: connect new work with the partners who can give it a future.
