The 2026 Performing Arts Market in Seoul, also known as PAMS, is set to launch a program this fall that aims to bring Korean performances to a global audience. Over a four-day period from October 13–16, the market will be held across prominent venues such as the National Theater of Korea and the ARKO·Daehakro Arts Theater. As the 22nd year of the event, this edition will feature a diverse lineup of nine showcase works under the PAMS Choice program, as well as five full-length productions presented in collaboration with the Seoul Performing Arts Festival (SPAF).
The program encompasses a range of art forms, including pansori, contemporary dance, ballet, sound art, and immersive theater, reflecting Korea's creative diversity. In addition to live performances, PAMS will expand its PAMS Salon, a forum for thought leaders to discuss critical topics in the industry, such as sustainability, urban theater spaces, and emerging global performance trends. A new initiative called PAMS Mingle will provide opportunities for small-group discussions among attendees.
