What a year 2017 has been, and what a year 2018 promises to be! With the holiday season starting, MAZ celebrates the generosity of the past year… and anticipates the excitement of the year to come.
2018 starts in Europe and Asia
In January, MAZ will take off to Germany for the 30th Internationale Kulturbörse in Freiburg (IKF), joining an official program of 180 performances from around the world. Immediately after, we will teleport to Shanghai for another major showcase event, in collaboration with Cinars. After MAZ in China, what’s to come in 2018?
