We highlight two shows of particular interest, but there are lots more to watch and enjoy.

This year’s Ensemble Festival features LGBTQ+ icon and star of many a wild night at the RVT, Olivier Award winner and Duckie Associate Artist, Miss High Leg Kick. Miss High Leg Kick will transport audiences to the late 1950s in the multi-sensory PALAIS DE DANSE experience. This offbeat, interactive show evokes the ambience of classic dancehall culture, infused with a modern twist that celebrates the collective excitement of teenage nights both then and now.

TELL ME by Sadiq Ali Co. tackles the stigma surrounding HIV through the medium of circus, incorporating the stunning art of Chinese pole acrobatics and physical storytelling. This contemporary circus and movement piece explores a narrative centred on HIV and the journey of overcoming stigma. Tell Me examines the strength of group dynamics and community in fostering connections and breaking down barriers to intimacy, touch, and human interaction.
