The edition includes a Curtain Raiser in Hong Kong (China) in April<\/strong>, the\u00a0Main Festival in Utrecht, the Netherlands<\/strong>, from 14 to 23 May<\/strong>, and a Closing Curtain<\/strong> event in Singapore in June.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>The 2026 Residency Programme stretches across the year<\/strong>, allowing ideas, practices, and relationships to develop over time.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

We\u00a0<\/span>begin the<\/span>\u00a0journey<\/span>\u00a0in Hong Kong<\/span>\u00a0in\u00a0<\/span>April<\/span>, with a<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Curtain Raiser in collaboration with the\u00a0<\/span>Tai Kwun Arts Centre<\/span><\/strong>. A powerful contemporary theatre show bring<\/span>ing<\/span>\u00a0together\u00a0<\/span>artists from China and Denmark\u00a0<\/span>to<\/span>\u00a0spotlight tensions between\u00a0<\/span>perception<\/span>\u00a0and reality.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Hosted for the first time<\/strong> in the Netherlands<\/strong>, the Main Festival in Utrecht<\/strong> marks a new chapter in AECFest\u2019s ongoing exploration of artistic exchange. Presented in collaboration with<\/strong> SPRING Performing Arts Festival<\/strong><\/a>, this edition places contemporary artistic practices at the centre, inviting artists and audiences to engage with shared questions, lived realities, and shifting cultural landscapes across both regions.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Building on recent editions presented in Italy (2024) and China (2025), AECFest 2026 continues to evolve through collaboration with leading international arts platforms<\/strong>, deepening its commitment to long-term artistic relationships<\/strong> rather than one-off presentations.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Conceived as a festival-in-a-festival<\/strong> within SPRING\u2019s wider programme, AECFest explores Asia\u2013Europe collaboration as a lived condition: embodied, negotiated, and constantly shifting.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>
