Voila! Theatre Festival announce that applications for this year’s festival are now open. Companies creating genre-defying, panlingual, border-busting theatre are invited to apply to showcase their work at Voila! Theatre Festival, running from 3 – 23 November.
The festival will take place at eight London venues: The Cockpit, Barons Court Theatre, Theatre Deli, Etcetera Theatre, The Playground Theatre, The Questors Theatre – Studio, The Space Theatre, and Theatro Technis.
Artist applications are open until 22 April via Eventotron. All information on how to apply can be found on the festival website: Voila! Theatre Festival.
Happening across eight London venues with a variety of spaces and layouts ranging from 50 – 220 seats, Voila! Theatre Festival is a place for artists to create, connect, and celebrate collaboration. The festival supports individuals and companies to make a daring leap: presenting a new piece of work, touring to a new audience, or translating a play into a new language. Previous programmes have included cross-cultural mash-ups, adaptations, bilingual comedies, devised theatre, solo performance, puppetry, clowning, circus, dance, music, stand-up, family shows, and more.
Elsa Couvreur, who previously brought her show The Sensemaker to Voila! says: “Participating in Voila! gave me the opportunity to explore new ways of expressing myself creatively. The festival hosted the premiere of what has now become my signature show, The Sensemaker. This solo-show has now been performed over 100 times in six different languages and has won 14 international awards so far. Voila! is where it all began.”
Voila! Theatre Festival is produced by The Cockpit and supported by City of Westminster College, part of United Colleges Group.
