Saturnalia
/ˌsatəˈneɪlɪə/ (noun) An occasion of wild revelry or indulgence
8-10 July 2021
For 3 days only: CYC, Level Up and HighRise Theatre take over skate park ProjektsMCR to create a colosseum of celebration, imagination and revolution with an Avengers-like company of multi-talented performers including DJs, MCs, poets, dancers, musicians and storytellers.
Directed by Dominic Garfield (Lil.Miss.Lady, Merryville, The Concrete Jungle Book) with material created by CYC and Level Up, this new-concept rave offers audiences the chance to transport into an underground world of bass, politics and belonging – rising from the ashes of our brand-new world.
Doors open at 6.30pm, show starts at 7pm.
