Lift Off!
A one-stop shop of unmissably fresh talent!
The festival's sampler of fresh emerging talent is back for its sixth
year running! Kick-off your 2025 Fringe season with a fix of brand-new
work. A double-bill of "Special, clever, charming and mesmeric"
performances from exciting artists emerging onto the Capital's
performing arts scene.
The Leftovers – by Maya Gatling
The Leftovers is a moving,
educational performance inspired by the experiences of African Americans
in 1800s New Orleans. Follow the lives of Betty, a mammy nurse in a
plantation household, and Alonzo, an aspiring musician from
Massachusetts. Through their stories, audiences gain insight into the
resilience, ambitions and struggles of lives often overlooked by history.
The Butterfly Effect – by Emma Taylor
Every movement ripples
outward, altering the course of something greater. Through a series of
interconnected pieces, The Butterfly Effect works to explore how dancers
and audiences can unknowingly influence the world around them. This
original contemporary dance work takes viewers on a journey through
cause and effect, revealing the profound impact of every decision, no
matter how small.
