The festival has two host cities, Olinda and Recife, and enjoys the support of the authorities of both in respecting and promoting culture. Ever since the festival was first established, much effort has been devoted to setting up and organising socio-educational activities specifically for this purpose in order to disseminate and promote the performing arts among the population.
AC/E is collaborating in this project through its mobility programme by coproducing the show of the Spanish Company Artistas Inflamables.
