To round off the Almost Summer Festival, we’re planning a huge party to celebrate our 20th anniversary! Come and have a drink and be enchanted by two performances.

LOUNGE / Marga Alfeirão

Marga Alfeirão weaves together dance and music from the African diaspora, lap dance and female eroticism in a choreography of minute, and at times barely visible, movements. A duet, but not just between the two dancers: in LOUNGE, movement and stillness, giving and taking, public and private, come so close together that the distinction between them completely fades away. Conspiratorial, sensual and hypnotic.

Art for Celebration / Lydia McGlinchey

Especially for the 20th anniversary of the BUDA arts centre, Lydia McGlinchey has created a celebration that moves between clubbing, performance and installation. An impressive sculpture made of flax spins like a luminous chandelier in the rotunda of budascoop. Two performers – clad from head to toe in raw flax – open the party. Like extravagant go-go dancers, they whip the crowd into a frenzy whilst the DJ spins records. OK Radio keeps playing until the early hours. An exuberant and irresistible birthday party!
