London’s biggest free outdoor performing arts festival is back at iconic venues across the city with a programme of theatre, circus, dance and street arts. This annual event is committed to diversity, celebrating the vibrant cultural mix of the city and pushing the boundaries of street art and performance.
The theme of GDIF 2024 is ‘All Change’, transforming difficult times into opportunities for growth and change.
GDIF’s full programme is mostly free and includes:
Thaw, aerial acrobatics performed on a gradually melting 2.5 tonne block of ice
Touch, a compelling performance of grace and gravity-defying trampolining skills
Patois, a story of culture, lost languages, longing and belonging
Bodies of Water, thought-provoking and moving stories of refugee journeys (ticketed event)
Life Lines, five parkour performers in the UK premiere of a breathtaking performance
We can’t wait for this.
