Do you ever feel that you’re missing out? That life is happening outside of your control? Because sometimes life feels like one big, thumping, steaming party, that you can't find the entrance to. You hear the bass, but where's the music coming from? Three characters search for a party they wish they could attend in a cold and deserted industrial estate. Everyone else seems to know exactly where to go. Or are those just ghosts in their head? The creators of the 2019 Festival sell-out show Invisible Man returns with an absurdist play full of humour where the most unexpected events take place on stage, and to everyone’s delight… with the audience!

The Fabulous Tale of BasarKus is a dazzling display of juggling and acrobatics. BasarKus is like no other creature. He has two heads and many arms and several legs. He is happy playing the guitar with four hands, rolling about and juggling. But BasarKus isn’t one but two! As the performers realise they are separable, they start exploring their own special talent, as acrobat and juggler. Like inquisitive children, they learn from each other and form new mischievous combinations. Their games help them discover their own body and identity, and the wonder of growing up.
The Studio
Sent to the attic to think things over, Violette find herself surrounded by memories of her grandpa: his farewell party, the scary stories he used to tell her at night and even their crazy pickle recipes. So she decides to send him a letter to the moon, to tell him about the intense emotions and questions that make up her daily life. Where do you go when you’re dead? Can you have two crushes at once? Since I can see the moon, does that mean it’s closer than Spain? From sea storms to lunar landings, Violette dives into her wild imagination with humour and tenderness to bring everyday objects to life, and draws the audience into accomplices in her whirlwind adventure.

Gretel lives in a tiny house, surrounded by small and precious objects: a tray, a teapot, a plant, a stool to sit on. She is absent-minded but rigorous, meticulously sticking to her bizarre logic in a world where everything is out of scale and out of place. But a catastrophe suddenly destroys her home, and Gretel must make her new path alone. Inspired by fairy tale themes of loss and the search for home, the performer blends contemporary circus, dance, and the manipulation of objects to celebrate migration and the need for reinventing ourselves when everything falls apart. It is a joyful and profound reflection on the meaning of home and a tribute to determination and perseverance.

How can we make people see, feel and grasp the passing of time using movements? Circus artist Alexis Rouvre takes up this challenge in his circus of objects. Juggler of time, rather than gravity, he manipulates a variety of simple materials to astonishing effect. Using chains, needles and wool, volcanic stones, sand and magnets, he creates a poetic work of wonder which defies the laws of physics. A magical ballet of hanging objects, flying and tumbling down.

Two friends perform a breathtaking aerial show. They fly, spin, hang from the rooftops and fall out of the sky... But they weren't always so glorious. How did they transform from feeling like outsiders to the fantastical creatures they always knew they had inside them? A touching story of a girl who wants to be a monster and a boy who wants to fly. This dynamic and visually stunning aerial show explores the universal yearning to belong and the joy of friendship. Produced by Catherine Wheels, commissioned by Imaginate, created in association with National Theatre of Scotland and supported by Assembly.
