Nuit Tonight
Nuit Tonight is a live talk show where participants discuss conspiracy theories. As hosts, Humphrey Myers (Matt Sherstobetoff) and Scott Stephenson (Colwynn Parris) engage and spin these ideas into playful, fictional narratives. Audience members can write on the desk, contributing to the evolving theories, while the hosts gradually spiral deeper into the rabbit hole. Be our guest.
Richard Mitchell
Enspiral
'Enspiral' is an exploration of the many recurring spiral patterns found in nature, such as phyllotaxis, the mathematical spiral arrangement of flower petals and leaves on a plant stem. Though organic, nature tends to adhere to these patterns and rules, which 'Enspiral' will seek to respect, manipulate, and extrapolate.

Snail Trails
Leaving ethereal trails throughout the festival our whimsical snail sculptures are crafted from recycled and found materials. Each one is beautiful and unique, and following their trail will surely lead to something fun. Look for them painting masterpieces, "borrowing" treats, and bringing a touch of magic to every corner!

Wood, Smoke, Flankers
As wood burns into curling fire; smoke spirals and flankers radiate.
Wood... Smoke... Flankers... invites us to take part in the transformative experience of fire. In this sculptural and collaborative community sanctuary, you can ponder; What fuels our fire? What images/ stories/ creatures spiral throughout the smoke? And who are the flankers that take flight out into the night?
