Kaleidoscope - City of Voices

What do rule breakers and butterflies share? A collective noun: a rabble. 

Enter the Kaleidoscope, and meet a rabble of rebels - born from the bricks of Balam Balam Place. They’re here to hunt for the broken bits and test the limits of law and gravity. Join their technicolour rebellion and discover what happens when you dare to defy the rules and fly free.

City of Voices is an inclusive theatre company that creates devised, ensemble-driven and accessible work.

This is a partially outdoor event, about 50% will be without cover. Please best prepare yourself by checking the weather beforehand. It's sunny and sometimes wet and surprisingly cool in November so pack what you need to be comfy.
