About MASA

MASA is a cultural development programme dedicated to the African performing arts. It consists of a market, a festival and a forum for performing arts professionals. In addition to these activities, training programmes have been developed, linked to the development of the performing arts disciplines. The first edition of MASA was held in March 1993 in Abidjan. After a seven-year break between 2002 and 2011 due to the troubled socio-political context of Ivory Coast, the festival reopened in 2014.
