Back for its 7th year, the festival brings acts by some of the most exciting contemporary artists to your doorstep.

Join us to explore identity, ritual, ecology, and collective experience through physical storytelling.
WHAT'S ON?

🔸 ElevateHer by Daughters of the Wire celebrates female camaraderie and empowerment through an all-female wire walking performance.

🔸 Stick and Stone by Ferdinando + Bernstein brings audiences together through physical comedy and visual imagery to reconnect with nature.
🔸 U.F.A by Cris Clown brings a public space installation centred around a clown suspended in the middle of the street
🔸 Domte by Nacho Flores, a poetic street circus duet inspired by mythology and transformation
