Adelaide Festival Centre’s OzAsia Festival has announced its 2022 program. With the pandemic’s impact on travel significantly reduced this year, the festival will feature over 500 artists from more than eight different countries, a marked expansion from 2021.

The program includes 10 world premieres, one Australian premiere and seven Adelaide premieres.
