CALL FOR APPLICATIONS
Looking away
Town of Les Cayes
For the 4th edition of Regard ailleurs, which will take place from March 28 to 31, 2025 in the town of Les Cayes, Haiti, the Company is proud to announce its call for participation from artists and theater groups from the said community. We’re looking for up-and-coming and professional artists, as well as theater groups who already have a creation ready to perform during the festival.
Eligibility criteria
- Have a creation ready to play during the festival
- To have a creation by a black author (afrodescendant.e) or a text (free of authorship) performed by black people.
- Be on Haitian soil or have the means to be there (the festival will pay for accommodation and food for foreign artists and troupes)
- Authorization for the copyright of the piece presented
Application conditions
- Submission of a press kit implies that the person, group or troupe already has a press kit with video support, either for the piece being submitted, or for a previous creation of at least ten minutes’ duration.
- The individual, group or troupe must submit a synopsis and technical description of their show.
- By submitting an application to the artist bank, the person responsible agrees to any online distribution of part of the work for the duration of the activity in which the work is presented. He also agrees that any production and distribution company associated with the work will extend the scope of this agreement to its various media and online platforms. This extension will grant the festival organizer a non-exclusive priority, which may be used to promote the festival (reproduction, distribution) without further authorization from either party.
- By submitting an application, the person responsible certifies that the staging is original and makes this creation an original work of which he or she is the author and which in no way infringes any existing copyright that he or she has not declared. If the work is not an original of which the project representative is the author, the person responsible must also certify that consent has been obtained for the work presented, even if the author is deceased and has a representative (a copy of the authorization or consent).
- In the event of a breach of these conditions, Compagnie Théâtre Créole may cancel the application, even if a show has already been scheduled.
- The person representing the group or troupe undertakes to indemnify the Company in the event of its legal liability being incurred on the grounds that the proposed work constitutes a serious infringement of copyright.
The selection of performances will be based on the quality and rigor of the artistic approach, as well as on the originality of the creation.
A fee of $1,000 US will be offered to the artist or theater company. The fee is payable at the time of performance.
