LIFT 2022

LIFT 2022 took 'unexpected perspectives' as its theme, exploring how global tensions including international conflict, ecological disaster and political turmoil impact us all on a personal level.
LIFT 2022 invited the audience to physically shift how they take in the world and experience performance - whether from a birds’ eye view (in Sun & Sea), around a campfire (for գիշեր | gisher), or (with Radio Ghost), a game played in a shopping centre.
“An intensely beautiful experience.”

“Shaping what performance can be.”
— Time Out
“Pushing traditional boundaries at exactly the time when they need to be challenged.”
