Autumn 24 Season
Nowhere: Fuel 1 – 19 October
In this intricate and playful solo show, inspired by his involvement in the Egyptian revolution of 2011, and his experience of the counter-revolution that followed, actor and activist Khalid Abdalla (United 93, The Kite Runner, The Crown) takes us on a surprising journey into his own history, set against a cartography of seismic world events.

BLINK Dance Theatre and BAC Beatbox Academy present BEAT-FLYS; a fresh new sensory and immersive show for adults with Profound and Multiple Learning Disabilities.
Soliloquio (I woke up and hit my head against the wall) Tiziano Cruz 30 Oct & 1 –2 Nov
A festive procession followed by a poignant performance exorcizing centuries of injustice and shining a light on indigenous cultures.
L’Addition: 5 - 16 Nov
Tim Etchells with Bertrand Lesca and Nasi Voutsas. Two performers armed with (or trapped in) a single scene – a customer orders a drink from a waiter. And then things go awry.
Blood Show: 12 – 23 Nov
Ocean Hester Stefan Chillingworth - 'Blood Show' is a trans celebration of destroying things, including ourselves, in order to create something new.
If All Else Fails: Seke Chimutengwende & Cathy Naden 19 - 23 Nov
Comical and tangled, 'If All Else Fails' is a dialogue of speech and movement, questions and answers. An absurd test that fails to find the answers.
