Arts house: Announcing Season 1, 2024

by | Dec 7, 2023

Heist and role play. Margins and islands. Ritual and folklore.

Our Season 1, 2024 program is an invitation to experience something new, something unexpected, something urgent, something bold.

Forms are explored and subverted, chances are taken, rallying cries ring out, ideas are dismantled and built upon.

This is contemporary art and performance for open minds and warm hearts.

We can’t wait to share it with you.

Wild, joyous and sensitive art
