UNREAL
A Festival of Magic and Performance

Curated by Tom Cassani, Augusto Corrieri and Tim Bromage

A week-long festival presented by extraordinary artists from across the UK and Europe, working at the intersection of magic and performance.

Event Info
A man with short black hair and glasses is has their back slightly turned away from the viewer, wearing a black t-shirt. He has just thrown a pale, almost transparent piece of cloth in the air, his arms still outstretched from the motion. The cloth is still suspended in the air, and there is a fan in front of the man keeping it afloat. The background is completely black.

Liminal
(Work-in-Progress)

Hsiang-Sheng Teng

Blending performance magic with live art, movement and film, Liminal invites audiences to explore the boundaries between illusion and reality.

Event Info Sold Out
A white man with long curly hair tied back in a ponytail is wearing a suit and extending out his arms as if ready to cast a spell. He looks concerned, as if he’s trying to ward something off. Behind him is a window painted black and a metallic red and purple curtain. The whole image has a paint-like quality to it, as if it’s been put through a retro filter on photo-booth to make it appear more like a poster.
