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.
