About the Festival

OUT THE BOX 2010

20 March – 28 March Presented by UNIMA SA

The Out The Box Festival of Puppetry & Visual Performance bursts onto the stages and screens of the Baxter Theatre Centre, The UCT Hiddingh campus in Gardens and the labia Cinema. Artists present their wildest and most beautiful imaginings in works using puppetry, projection, objects, circus arts, multi- media and live performers; walking the tightrope between performance and visual art. Included in the breath taking line-up for this year are international and local visual theatre and film makers, established performance and visual artists and contemporary dancers as well as several new works by emerging artists.

This year UNIMA SA, in association with ASSITEJ South Africa (the association for youth theatre), has created a Family Festival programme to wonder and delight you, featuring both overseas artists and preeminent Southern African theatre practitioners.

Expect the unexpected: there will be shows in theatres, shows on top of theatres and even a show up a tree and not just performances but also workshops, talks, exhibitions and films. You will find live art and installations up staircases and around corners. The conference this year focuses on women in visual performance and we offer a range of exciting workshops by specialists in the many diverse forms of puppetry, including a workshop by South Africa’s national treasure, Handspring Puppet Company.

We invite you to explore a visual world of dreams and imaginings with us.
