*Some of our performances, such as this one, have limited capacity. For these events we ask you to book a ticket per person to guarantee a space and so we can monitor capacity. Freedom Festival Arts Trust is a registered charity and relies on the support of our sponsors, funders and generous donations from individuals.

We ask you to Pay What You Can for this performance. The event is free, but we suggest a donation of £5. Any donation will enable us to keep working with incredible artists to bring inspiring and exciting shows to the people of Hull. We know it is a very difficult time for all, with demands on people’s salaries like never before. Please only donate what you can, if you can. Thank you to all of those who are able to contribute, as your support has never been more fundamental to the success of Freedom Festival Arts Trust.

**Touch Tours give our audience who are visually impaired the opportunity to enter the installation and contextualise parts of the set and any major pieces of scenery, props and costumes. This is to help audience members to immerse themselves in the imaginary world presented on the installation.

Circle/دایره is a new immersive performance work grown out of an artistic collaboration between light artists Squidsoup and musicians Vilk Collective. With sold out shows at Trinity, The Egg theatre, Bristol Beacon, Arnolfini and St Mary’s Fratton,  the show is now coming to Freedom Festival!

The 45 minute sensory experience combines original music, mesmerising lights and  unique choreography to explore themes of identity and migration.

Alongside the live show there will also be an immersive sound and light  installation called ‘Lullabies’ which allows you to experience  lullaby heritage songs in many languages from across the diverse communities and cultures that make up the UK.
