Giant insects stalking the city streets…an immersive night-time adventure in the woods…a Circus Hub in an iconic shopping centre…a new composition for multiple bicycle bells… a political ghost train ride…
From July 20 to 29, IF: Milton Keynes International Festival will transform the physical spaces of Milton Keynes and invite people to see a different side of the city with 10 days of new outdoor theatre, large and small-scale performance, circus, stand-up comedy, live music, family activities and free events.
For 2018, Festival director Monica Ferguson and creative director Bill Gee have put together a programme of performance exploring migration, identity, community and home, including a number of UK premieres.
Here's another little taster, and Total MK will be bringing you much more in the lead up to, and during the festival.
Casus: Driftwood
Friday 20 and Saturday 21 July, The Speigeltent, Campbell Park
Driftwood is a beautiful and intimate display of choreography, acrobatics, trapeze and aerial stunts. The phenomenal performers of young Australian circus company Casus reveal our innate need for human contact where, in a moment of danger, a grasping hold is survival.
