Running Time1 hour
Presented ByDimis Michaelides

With wicked humour and stories from his professional journey, LSE and World Bank veteran Dimis Michaelides highlights the contributions and contradictions of economists from the 18th century to today. How does breakfast get to your table? Who creates value? Capitalism: savage or tame? How do we justify inequalities? Why did students occupy the LSE? What was special about a loan to Colombia? Are economists rational? Why do they forget women? Economics is often revered as nebulous or simplified into populist pseudo-science. This show promises to explore the nebulae and expose the pretenders.

EXIT

By Piet Van Dycke

ZOO Southside - Main House, Edinburgh
Edinburgh Fringe 2026

Previews18 August 2026
Closes30 August 2026
Running Time1 hour
Presented ByCircumstances

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.
