We are delighted that a record seven venues will host performances during this year’s festival, in addition to events such as outdoor spectacular Wings of Desire taking place in public spaces across Birmingham city centre.

We are particularly excited to be working with three new host venues – The Crescent Theatre, where Birmingham Royal Ballet will present a triple bill including the world premiere of a new commission by US choreographer Jessica Lang; mac birmingham, the new location for our popular Family Weekend, including a performance for babies and the enchanting children’s show Clouds, both by Aracaladanza; and Warwick Arts Centre (above), which will play host to Canadian choreographer Dave St-Pierre’s controversial show Un peu de tendresse bordel de merde!, sure to be one of the most talked about shows in this year’s programme!
