There's a lot to explore, but highlights from the programme include Louise Ahl's experimental solo opera Skunk without k is Sun exploring the limits of language, mythic, somatic solo piece ANAHIT by Italian-Armenian artist Giorgia Ohanesian Nardin, and South African musical artist Desire Marera. The full programme is here, and there's even an artist pass with concessioned tickets.
