With 15 companies from 10 countries, 13 UK premieres including the world premiere of The Mill from Britain’s Ockham’s Razor – one of the festival’s three co-commissioned works - LIMF10 promises one of the most diverse and exciting programmes in its long history. Switzerland’s Zimmermann & de Perrot open the season at The Barbican, the first of many different circus-theatre shows on offer, and there’s world-class puppetry and animation from Israel, Belgium, Russia, Italy and France. Be a guest at Circus Klezmer’s uproarious wedding, be a witness to the chilling USSR Was Here, be spellbound by sorceress-puppeteer Nicole Mossoux in Kefar Nahum and multi-talented bearded lady Jeanne Mordoj with her badgers and mountain goat. Welcome to 19 days of contemporary visual theatre performance, meet-the artist sessions, workshops, and the festival lecture to be given by Bristol Old Vic artistic director and National Theatre associate director, Tom Morris.
For making LIMF10 possible we thank artists, colleagues, supporters and funders, and once again we are delighted to acknowledge invaluable core financial assistance from Arts Council England.
