SUMMARY:TESTO
DESCRIPTION:TESTO celebrates transitions\, testosterone and the edges of drag–a chaotic\, heartfelt\, and hilariously unhinged deep dive into the mess of becoming. Here\, performance and reality blur until what’s made-up somehow feels truer than truth. Expect moustache meals\, dykey desires\, and a choreography of guttural sexuality that pinches at the dull flesh of everyday life until it sparkles. At once absurd and sincere\, TESTO finds the magical in the mundane—the moment when laughter curdles into revelation\, and fantasy becomes flesh. It’s awkward\, erotic\, disarming\, and deeply human: a love letter to transition\, embodiment\, and all our leaking edges.

SUMMARY:SLUGS
DESCRIPTION:It’s about nothing. We promise. \nFrom the award-winning performance/comedy duo Creepy Boys (S.E. Grummett & Sam Kruger)\, this anarchic fever dream is a techno-punk concert\, a play\, a clown show\, and a basement puppet nightmare all rolled into one. In a neon haze of chaos and charm\, two performers attempt to make a show about nothing—until meaning starts leaking in through the cracks. \nSLUGS spirals from DIY absurdity into something strangely profound\, fusing electronic comedy songs\, trash puppetry and live camera magic into a meltdown of meaning. It’s “brilliantly smart and beautifully stupid” (The Guardian)\, and it might be the most fun you’ll have while the planet burns. \nFor tonight\, at least\, we are free.

SUMMARY:Kamwe Kamwe
DESCRIPTION:Kamwe Kamwe (One by One) is a force of movement and song—a meeting of ancestral rhythm and contemporary resistance. On a sand-covered stage\, four Zimbabwean dancers move through a terrain of poles\, elastics\, and projected images\, their bodies speaking what history has silenced. Echoes of those disappeared through colonial and ongoing violence are carried in the haunting truths revealed through body and voice. \nChoreography that transforms dance into testimony\, this is a reckoning on racism and human rights—a body-to-body reminder that liberation is built in motion\, and that no one moves forward alone. Kamwe Kamwe (One by One) is both protest and prayer: a dance of solidarity rising from the dust.

SUMMARY:Khalil Khalil at PuSh International Performing Arts Festival
DESCRIPTION:How does a name shape a destiny? \nKhalil Albatran was named for his brother\, a martyr of the First Palestinian Intifada. In a family where the name carries both honour and grief\, he has lived as a continuation of another life—one that ended before his began. Through movement and music\, Khalil Khalil becomes a dialogue between presence and absence. The artist places his body in direct conversation with memory\, confronting what it means to live as both an echo and an original. Each movement negotiates the distance between what is remembered and what is alive now. Beyond one man’s story\, the work opens a window onto a shared experience for many who bear the names of the fallen. A performance in which the artist confronts an existential question: can a body exist beyond the history it inherits?

SUMMARY:Eight Short Compositions on the Lives of Ukrainians for a Western Audience
DESCRIPTION:In Eight Short Compositions on the Lives of Ukrainians for a Western Audience\, the political becomes profoundly personal. \nDrawn from the words of Ukrainian playwright Anastasiia Kosodii\, this delicate yet piercing work meditates on the ordinary moments that fracture under the weight of war—boiling water\, harvesting fruit\, sleeping in one’s own bed. \nAcross languages and borders\, five performers gather to honour the small acts of living that survive in the shadow of war. Through text projection\, music\, movement\, and light\, they weave a collective reflection on distance\, empathy\, and responsibility—how to stand beside those whose lives are under siege. In its quiet sincerity\, the piece invites us to listen: to the grain of a voice\, the tremor of solidarity\, the fragile beauty of life persisting against the noise of devastation.
