Fran Bushe blazes onto the stage with HOT COLD, a riotous, and unflinchingly honest dive into the chaos of perimenopause, where heat, humour, and vulnerability collide; Hannah Finn & Morgan Barbour summon The Double Draw a dazzling fusion of acrobatics and archery set beneath the watchful gaze of the goddess Artemis; Jordan Charles’s Ride the Wind weaves Yoruba mythology, puppetry and West African dance to enchant in this original Afro-fantasy musical; and Kat Bond takes on the impossible with The Making of The Eye Show, a satire of the diagnosis show that spirals through every thought ever had about eyes, blending clowning, stand-up, and absurdity into a gleefully chaotic spectacle.

The Acts is a collision of performance, where myth meets mischief, honesty meets absurdity, and nothing is what you expect. Urgent, inventive, and unapologetically original, it’s an invitation to witness disabled artists not in the neat boxes we’re expected to be in, but as we choose to be.

The Acts comes to the Bristol Tobacco Theatres for two nights on Thursday 3rd and Friday 4th September.
