At 2024’s PuSh Festival, immerse yourself in boundary-pushing, risk-taking works that present personal accounts of resistance and radical acts of vulnerability.
Running from Jan. 18 to Feb. 4, PuSh International Performing Arts Festival brings together 17 works by acclaimed artists from 15 countries, and asks:
Can a live art festival be a ritual for social change? A means to rethink history while imagining possible futures?
The 2024 program pushes us to examine our relationship to contemporary themes of migration, displacement, labour, injustice and artificial intelligence with interdisciplinary works, theatre, dance, aerial arts and music. Plus, Club PuSh cabaret nights are back with Talking Stick and frank theatre co.
2024 marks 15 years of PuSh and SFU Woodward's co-presenting dynamic works during the festival. The partnership is being celebrated with PuSh @ SFU Woodward’s 15th Anniversary Series: L'amour telle une cathédrale ensevelie (Love Like a Buried Cathedral), DARKMATTER or The Runner. One Tyee reader will receive two tickets to the PuSh @ SFU show of their choice. Enter to win below.
See the full festival lineup at the PuShFestival website.
PuSh has also launched a new podcast PuSh Play, featuring artists who are pushing boundaries and playing with form for those wanting to become more intimate with the minds involved in this year's festival. Join Gabrielle Martin, PuSh’s director of programming, in conversation with the creators of the innovative and dynamic works being presented in 2024. New episodes are released Mondays and Thursdays wherever you get your podcasts. Transcripts of past episodes are available at the PuShFestival website.
Tickets are on sale now. PuSh passes for multiple shows are available while quantities last. Passholders save up to 25 per cent off single tickets when they buy four or six shows together.
