This year, M/P ’25 responds to the evolving realities of contemporary life: environmental precarity, migration, post-pandemic hybridization, and the urgent need for collective joy. The festival draws artists from Miami and around the world who are rethinking the role of the body in art—as archive, protest, ritual, and transmission.

“M/P ’25 creates a laboratory for intergenerational dialogue, experimentation, and cultural hybridity,” says artist and Edge Zones founder Charo Oquet. “People come to Allapattah not just for art, but for connection—across disciplines, across cultures. This festival is a space where unpredictable collaborations happen.”

Now in its 14th edition, Miami Performance International Festival ’25 (M/P ’25) returns with renewed urgency and purpose—centering performance as a tool for connection, resistance, and radical imagination. Taking place at Edge Zones Art Center in the vibrant Allapattah neighborhood, with the title Bodies in Resonance the festival runs September 5 and 6, 2025, and includes live performances, video screenings, public interventions, and audience participation.

Highlights Include:

  • September 5: Streaming Launch (8–10PM)
    A curated program of video performances, artist talks, and interviews available via YouTube, bridging local and global audiences and blurring the line between physical and digital presence.

  • September 6: Live Performances
    An evening of embodied practices, spoken word, experimental sound, and participatory works that transform Edge Zones and the surrounding neighborhood into a stage for cultural exchange.

Through its hybrid format, M/P ’25 becomes a resonant space—a live and virtual echo chamber where performance extends beyond the gallery, inviting viewers to engage as collaborators. By amplifying voices from the margins, the festival affirms performance art’s role in addressing the social, spiritual, and environmental concerns of our time.
