The 2021 Anywhere Festival continues until May 23 with performances set across Queensland’s hidden venues.
These performances range from theatre, circus, music, comedy, dance, spoken word, cabaret to magic and welcomes local performers as well as interstate and international acts into nooks and crannies that are being transformed into performing spaces.
These spaces are areas such as ferry stops, warehouses, backyards, homes, bars, jetty’s and anywhere that’s unexpected with over 100 locations and 600 performances. The venues are in Brisbane, Ipswich, Moreton Bay, Sunshine Coast and Noosa, and for those still looking to participate from afar, there is a digital program of online shows you can experience from anywhere.
The festival debuted with immersive productions Shelter at Farrier Bar Fortitude Valley, Time Travel Cafe at Canvas Club Woolloongabba and Cluedo!
