A participatory video game performance, a live augmented reality escape room, immersive short films, a tiny concert inspired by a giant book… Experience the festival for free online or IRL May 9-15, 2022.
Running May 9-15, Hybrid by Design will feature seven works by artists from The Theatre Centre’s Residency program and a selection of international work curated by Battersea Arts Centre bridging live performance and digital creation in experimental and genre-defying ways. Experience the festival in-person or online — the future of live art is hybrid by design.
Attend artist-hosted workshops, conversations, and activations offered throughout the week as part of The B-Side Series, curated by Sue Balint. You’ll get the chance to engage directly with artists and explore themes relating to their work, practice, and the future of live arts. You can also stop by throughout the week to experience the digital installation Portal by Luis Carlos Barragán and Lorena Torres Loaiza and Stewart Legere’s community writing project Our Raw Material in the gallery.
Tickets to Hybrid by Design are free — donations are happily accepted. Register online or at the door. ASL will be available for most performances. The Theatre Centre is a physically accessible venue with barrier-free washrooms on each floor and a lift for public use. Need help planning your visit? Email us at boxoffice@theatrecentre.org.
