LIFT 2016 curated a global playlist of performances, politics and pop-culture for London.
Including: a thrilling voyage through the American song book with Taylor Mac, New York’s outrageously entertaining performance artist;
Haunting encounters with the dead in a Mile End cemetery in gothic circus from acclaimed Australian company Circa and British electronic musician Lapalux;
And the UK debut of Poland’s iconoclastic director Krzysztof Warlikowski in a grand multimedia production of Phaedra(s) by Sarah Kane, Wajdi Mouawad and J M Coetzee and starring Isabelle Huppert.
34 shows and talks across London made up the 2016 festival. Explore the programme here
