Best Performer 2026 Nominees

A powerful performance can make music visible and stories unforgettable.

The nominees for BEST PERFORMER have done more than simply appear on screen, they have created moments that stay with you. Through movement, expression, and presence, they capture vulnerability, intensity, and the human spirit in ways only the most compelling performers can.

Join us at the festival from June 11th to 13th and immerse yourself in performances that are not just seen, but felt.

Don’t just watch, experience the emotion live!
