Four incredible international performers from France, Germany and Spain will be arriving in Gainsborough featuring group acrobatics, live music, dance, street theatre and a fabulous stunt duet. They will be performing alongside local and community music and dance artists in what is set to be an incredible fun-filled day.
This exciting event will take place throughout the town centre and is FREE for people to attend. It will take place on Saturday 17, June 2023 from 9am-6pm.
Cllr Lesley Rollings, Deputy Leader of Council and Chairman of Prosperous Communities at West Lindsey District Council, is delighted the Festival will be coming to West Lindsey.
She said: “We are incredibly excited to be holding such a fantastic event within our District, celebrating the talents of artists both locally and across Europe. This certainly is a day for anyone of any age to enjoy”.
During the Festival, there will be a Community Stage which will showcase some of the best local talent Gainsborough has to offer, including:
- Contemporary choir from ‘Rock Choir’,
- Dance performances from ‘Rhythm in Movement Dance Company’, ‘G-Town Dance Crew’ and ‘Everett-Fox School of Dance Misterton’
- Live performances from singer-songwriters ‘Lizzie Goddard’ and BBC introducing artist ‘Georgie Hanson’
The Revive Festival is working in collaboration with the SO Festival in Skegness and Mablethorpe to deliver a programme of international artists that showcase amazing theatre, dance, and arts.
International artists include:
- ‘Farmyard Circus’ a warm and cheery, family-friendly, farm-life inspired circus spectacle, which features group acrobatics, juggling, theatre, and live music.
- ‘This Maag’ who will present his latest performance “This is the summit!”, an extraordinary blend of Swiss and European humour - a sophisticated interactive theatre at its best.
- A dance and street theatre piece ‘WE HAVE TO TALK’ focuses on family relationships and their conflicts. The dancers Linn Johansson and Hans Nezza, together with Jem Prenafeta, a young performer with Down's Syndrome.
- ‘Les Quat'fers en l'air’ is a stuntwomen duet whose piece involves climbing the highest peaks… Unfortunately, global warming has melted the snow leaving only the skeleton of this gigantic mountain…enjoy the pleasures of acrobatics in a short moment of weightlessness! Will the duo be able to endure the heat while spinning in the air?
