Voalá
When the sun sets on the
summer solstice, the dead rise
from their graves to dance in the
streets.
Haitian culture looks at death
in a very different way to our
own. It is not a hushed-up affair
of coffins and closed doors but
a loud celebration of all that
life has to offer, in this world
and the next. At dusk, join
French company Rara Woulib
in conjuring the ghosts of the
city’s departed for this joyous
celebration. See for yourself why
the dead have so much more fun
than the living.

Prepare to immerse yourself in a psychedelic world in which
aerialists descend from giant revolving “optical art” mobiles
accompanied by electrifying live music. Enter Spanish/
Argentinean company Voalá’s fluorescent wonderland as
gorgeous aerial choreography combines with the visceral
thrill of sky-diving in a show in which anything is possible.
Internationally renowned for their virtuosity in turning the
sky into their stage, Voalá were last seen at GDIF in 2010,
and in this, their latest aerial extravaganza you can
expect to be swept up in an experience in which performers
dive down over your head, whilst pyrotechnic effects and
live music from Duchamp Pilot deliver a sensory overload.
GDIF’s opening night spectaculars are legendary, so don’t
miss this one!
