VOILA! THEATRE FESTIVAL 2025 is ready for take off!
After launching our multi venue model last year, we are teaming up again with fantastic partner venues to showcase even more panlingual theatre across London this November!
Voila! Theatre Festival is a place for artists to create, to connect, and to celebrate collaboration. We support 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. Our previous programmes have included cross-cultural mash-ups, adaptations, bilingual comedies, devised theatre, solo performance, puppetry, clowning, circus, dance, music, stand-up, family shows, and more.
We embrace an entrepreneurial fringe model in order to platform emergent theatre: contemporary artist-led work that responds to our world with a sense of urgency. We support and mentor theatre makers to take the next steps in self-producing their work, bypassing institutional gatekeepers. Voila! creates a home for artists to speak in their own voice, in their own accent, and in their own language.
If you are an artist or company making genre-defying, multilingual, border-busting theatre, we want to hear from you!
