Free performance-based festival, curated by Margate-based Crescendorious punk theatre company
Crescendorious presents...
A grassroots performance festival for the times we’re living in.
A glittering, heart-fuelled celebration of nurturing, care and hope as radical, shared acts.
Curated by critically acclaimed theatre-makers Brigitte Aphrodite @brigitteaphrodite and Quiet Boy @veryquietboy, the festival brings together bold performances and workshops created with local artists and community groups across Margate during March and April.
Expect big feelings, bright moments, DIY glamour, and acts of collective care, all wrapped up in a glorious showbiz bow.
A space to gather, laugh, rage, rest, and imagine how we get through — together.
All events are free and unticketed [unless otherwise stated].
Just turn up babes.
