Culture without barriers, uncompromising sound, movement without constraints, freedom of expression and exaltation without noise, maximum delight. PLAI is the expression of the obsession for art without borders. Without cliches. We start from our roots, explore diversity and use dialogue to celebrate the intercultural accord vibrancy.
Once a year, we enter PLAI Festival to live three days of musical, artistic and multicultural exaltation. The space, for us, means the manifestation of integrated diversity in everyday life.
