Barbican Takes BITE Out of International Theatre Date: 11 March 1998
The Barbican's first annual international theatre event, BITE:98, will open at the Barbican Centre this May, offering what is claimed to be 'the widest range of international performance, dance, drama and musical theatre ever to be presented under one roof.' The schedule will include 14 UK premieres and 4 London premieres. Running til October 1998 in the Barbican and Pit Theatres, with special events in the Centre's Sculpture Court, BITE:98 focuses largely on America, running in conjunction with the Centre's £3m, year-long celebration of Stateside culture, the Inventing America Festival. Additional performances will come from Russian, Japanese, Romanian and British artists. The Barbican plans to establish BITE:98 as a permanent, annual fixture on the Centre's calendar, running during the Royal Shakespeare Company's six-month leave of its Barbican residency.
