Event Description
Voila! Theatre Festival is delighted to announce that applications for this year's festival are open. Companies making genre-defying, panlingual, border-busting theatre are invited to apply to bring their work to the Voila! Theatre Festival, which will run from 2 - 22 November. Happening across eight London venues, with a variety of spaces and layouts ranging from 50 - 220 seats available, Voila! Theatre Festival is a place for artists to create, to connect, and to 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, and more. All information on how to apply can be found on our website. Applications are open until 13 April. Submission of the applications is free. If your show is selected you will be asked to pay a registration fee of £165. We will hold two Festival Q&A with Voila! Festival directors Katharina Reinthaller & Fae Fichtner on 18 March at 7pm and 1 April 12pm UK Time. All links below.
