Rogue Play Theatre

Award-winning physical theatre company RoguePlay Theatre brings their internationally acclaimed production Forests to Show of Hands. A breathtaking fusion of acrobatics, dance and aerial artistry, Forests tells a visceral story of resistance, resilience and renewal. Centred around a towering willow tree, performers climb, swing and weave through ropes in a mesmerising display of strength and struggle. Beneath the beauty lies a powerful message challenging deforestation, over-consumption and the displacement of Indigenous Peoples, while calling for courage and hope in the generations to come. Created with the Rainforest Foundation UK, Forests is both a visual spectacle and a call to action, proving that art can move hearts as deeply as it moves bodies.
