WILD

Motionhouse / (Without Walls commission)

As urban humans, how do we relate to a way of being that we no longer understand? Is the wild still shaping our behaviour? Motionhouse's new outdoor show for 2019.
Baba Yaga's House

DizzyO'Dare

Baba Yaga‘s House is a ramshackle old cottage, which roams the land on chicken legs, while Baba flies across the landscape. Though she may seem scary, she might tell your fortune, in exchange for a year of your life, or then again she might just eat you.

Ye Gods

Whalley Range All Stars

Ye Gods features a model town where three god-like figures tower over the proceedings. They gradually bring this miniature town to life with a witty use of objects and puppetry, but events are headed to a chaotic finale. Pic: Merchant City Festival, Glasgow.
Transfigured

Oceanallover

Alex Rigg has been making live events since 1982, with a strong need to push boundaries around, to set foot on unknown soil and generally to play with our concepts of art outside its accepted form. Pic: Surge Festival 2019.
My House

Apocalyptic Circus

“My House” is a circus theatre experience for little people and their families. This exciting, magical, quirky structure, which can be put up almost anywhere, invites people to come close and become part of the performance.
