Portugal is the guest on this edition, which presents as a new cycle of three concerts at the Teatro Circo de Murcia, offered by Rodrigo Leão, Michael Nyman and Wim Mertens
The painter Antonio Ballester Murcia is the author of the work that illustrates the XIII International Festival poster for Tolerance Murcia Three Cultures, which is based on the original idea of ​​Jorge Fin-creator of the first poster of the festival to represent the palm, olive and cypress as symbols of the Three Cultures.
For this occasion, Ballester, whose painting addresses both the abstract and the figurative, expressionistic style takes to create a simple composition, clean and well defined colors.
The painter has opted to use three shades of green to shape the main figures, underlining the central composition with a strip of magenta that "sustains and vibrates the whole work," he qualifies.
The image of the trees of the Three Cultures is the common basis on which they have designed the poster for other editions of artists Jorge Fin, Pedro Cano, Jose Lucas, Alfonso Albacete, Angel Mateo Charris, Willy Ramos, FCG, Miguel Fructuosus Muher, Pedro Serna, Mengual Martinez and Antonio Sanchez.
A manufacturer of images
Antonio Ballester is a multidisciplinary artist who is defined as "a maker of images" and believes that any form can become art.
Born in Paris in 1952, after passing through the ESAG (École Supérieure dart Graphique in Paris), extended its activity to photography, painting, sculpture and graphic and industrial designs.
The gallery of Murcia Chys met his first solo show in 1975 and then started a long history of exhibitions in different cities.
He has exhibited several times in Madrid, in the gallery Seiquer and three times in ARCO, though so more is remembered especially for his project is One car show (1996-2004), in the Church of Murcia Veronicas.

Two intense weeks
The XIII International Festival for Tolerance Murcia Three Cultures will take place over two intensive weeks, from 14 to 26 May.
The programming of the first week includes theater performances, exhibitions, film screenings, seminars and literature, among other activities.
The second week will be devoted to music and dance, with free outdoor events to be held in the main streets and squares of the city and in different cultural spaces.
Strengthening ties with Portugal
Portugal has been chosen as the guest of the thirteenth edition.
Thus, we have tried to strengthen ties with neighboring and historically close, with which there is a brotherhood and a number of cultural affinities.
Another reason for this choice is the fact that the fado, the music style that best embodies the Portuguese fatalism, has been declared by UNESCO Intangible Heritage of Humanity, recognizing its value as an expression of cultural identity of a people .
Portuguese Fado achieved this distinction in November 2011, just a year after I did the flamenco, thus leaving the two twinned Peninsula countries also recognized worldwide for its genuine musical manifestations.
In Murcia Three Cultures Festival can see how the fado allows creative interaction with other musical traditions alive.
In addition, programming will include concerts of folk music and Portuguese-date.
On the other hand, besides music and Portuguese culture, this edition will feature artists from countries such as Germany, Egypt, Israel, Morocco, Cuba, Mexico, Russia, Sahara, France and Senegal, among others.
