Contacting The World Festival: booking now

July 11, 2008

With four workshops a day, daily matinee performances, and double-bill premieres every evening, this years’ Contacting The World festival will deliver an unparalleled showcase of true international talent.

On the first day alone you can attend a workshop from Zambia, an afternoon performance from Mumbai, before evening shows from Manchester and Brazil. Every day viewers will be treated to selected highlights from previous festivals, before the unveiling each evening of the results of one of the 10 month collaborations.

Climaxing on Saturday 2 August, CTW 08 will join forces with Brouhaha - Liverpool’s pioneering international arts organisation – to create the largest single carnival performance in the UK. 2000 costumed participants, acrobats, musicians, circus performers and street theatre groups will collaborate with artists from Greece and Poland in a carnival event based on the Trinidadian clown character ‘Pierriot Grenade’.

The main venues are Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts (LIPA) and the Unity Theatre, but expect the city to come to life as the performers also spill out onto the streets and perform around ‘the suitcases’ at Hope Street.
