The <\/span><\/span><\/span>Artistic Tournament<\/span><\/span><\/b> is the flagship proposal of <\/span><\/span>Azul Fest <\/span><\/b>conceived as a space to showcase performance, creativity, and stage storytelling at their highest expression. This format focuses on the artists\u2019 ability to convey emotions and narratives, blending aerial technique with a deeply interpretative approach.<\/span><\/span><\/span> <\/b><\/b><\/p>\n In the Artistic Tournament, we invite each participant to <\/span><\/span><\/span>immerse themselves in the story they wish to portray <\/span><\/span><\/b>using movement, music, and stage resources to build a unique visual narrative. Evaluation prioritizes artistic skills\u2014such as interpretation, theatricality, and emotional connection with the audience\u2014over the technical difficulty of the movements.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n The objective is to highlight <\/span><\/span><\/span>creativity, artistic sensitivity, and stage coherence<\/span><\/span><\/b> of each performance, understanding technique as a support for the narrative rather than the central focus of the proposal.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n For this reason, the tournament is organized into two levels:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \u2022 Amateur Artistic Tournament<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n \u2022 Professional Artistic Tournament<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n Within this format, artists may use the aerial apparatus of their choice, such as <\/span><\/span><\/span>aerial silks, aerial hoop, trapeze, aerial hammock, or any of the so-called novel apparatus, including straps, ropes, cubes, chains, or other scenic devices<\/span><\/span><\/b> .<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n The choice of apparatus is a fundamental part of the artistic proposal, as it allows the narrative to be enhanced and new forms of expression to be explored within the performance.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> It is determined by <\/span>Calendar Age<\/b><\/span>, it is determined based on the participants\u2019 year of birth and calculated as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div> Current Year \u2013 Year of Birth = Calendar Age<\/strong><\/p>\n Example:<\/strong> 2026 \u2013 2000 = 26 A\u00f1os<\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n1.
