BPAM vs CINARS+

The Busan International Performing Arts Market (BPAM) is a vibrant, multi-genre arts market hosted by the Busan Cultural Foundation in Korea’s dynamic port city. Now in its third year, BPAM brings together 300+ delegates from around the world, showcases 200 performances, and welcomes over 60,000 audience members. With all shows open to the public, it’s a great space for international professionals and local communities to connect. Held during Busan’s exciting “Festival October,” alongside events like BIFF and the Rock Festival, BPAM is where global arts and culture come together.

CINARS+ is the official app of the 2026 Biennale, the event organized by CINARS. Designed for performing arts professionals, it brings the essentials of your experience together in one place: the program, the participants, your conversations and your tickets. PROGRAM Browse more than 150 shows across contemporary dance, theatre, circus, undisciplined music and new writing. Filter by discipline, date or venue, and open each show's full page: company, artists, running time, venue and schedule. PARTICIPANTS Find the people and organizations attending: companies, artists, presenters and promoters. Browse profiles, see who you want to meet and keep your contacts at hand. MESSAGING Write to other participants directly in the app, before and during the Biennale, to set up a meeting or continue a conversation. After the Biennale, messaging closes: you keep your conversation history, but you can no longer write. TICKETS Your tickets and their entry QR code are right in the app. Your dashboard brings together your bookings and your personal schedule. NOTIFICATIONS Get the reminders that matter: schedule changes, upcoming shows, new messages. ENGLISH AND FRENCH The app works in both languages, your choice. ABOUT CINARS For more than 40 years, CINARS has brought performing arts professionals together from around the world and supported the international circulation of contemporary dance, theatre, circus, music and new forms of expression. Beyond the Montreal Biennale, CINARS supports companies and agents year-round through export missions and an active presence at major international markets.
