Exit
By Piet Van DyckeZOO Southside - Main House, Edinburgh
Edinburgh Fringe 2026
Four circus artists move through a shifting world of revolving walls and floating doors. In EXIT, choreographer Piet Van Dycke blends circus and dance into a thrilling physical performance where movement, partner acrobatics and balance form one shared language. With backgrounds in bascule, aerial belts, trapeze and acro-dance, they create a dynamic interplay of trust, risk and transformation. They propel, catch, climb and balance as they search for their own path, yet need one another to keep moving. A powerful, visually striking exploration of independence, connection and fragile balance. Four bodies. One path. No way out alone.

By Lina Majdalanie, Rabih Mroué & Bertolt BrechtStudio Theatre, Edinburgh
Edinburgh International Festival 2026
In 1933, German playwright Bertolt Brecht fled Berlin, eventually settling in the United States, where he would be tried by the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) for communist affiliations. Ten years ago, artist duo Lina Majdalanie and Rabih Mroué emigrated from Beirut to Berlin. Their new play weaves these two stories together, exploring historical and contemporary censorship of free speech, the rise of the far right, and exile. Accompanied by a pianist playing songs from Brecht and Hanns Eisler, Majdalanie and Mroué bring their characteristic humour to question whether our liberal democracies are truly free, or if we're all sitting in a gilded cage.

By John RetallackDovecote Studios - Meeting Room, Edinburgh
Edinburgh Fringe 2026
Two painters. Nine weeks. At the end, an ear is severed. This brand-new one-person play journeys back to 1888, tracing the charged encounter between Vincent van Gogh and Paul Gauguin in Arles. Jack Ellis seamlessly embodies a range of characters, exploring not only their volatile relationship but also his own lifelong obsession with the Dutch painter. Written by John Retallack and shaped around 24 paintings, the piece is darkly humorous and unflinching in its examination of how artistic ambition and fragile minds can be pushed to breaking point.
