Rush

Rush is a large-scale outdoor spectacle of street theatre, featuring a cast of local people alongside the incredibly powerful performance skills of Southpaw Dance Company.

Rush is inspired by the global phenomenon of protest.

Inspired by stories of the local community, Rush explores the challenges and hardships we face as a society, providing an outlet for everyday frustrations and culminating in a huge release of energy, creativity and celebration of Leicester’s communities. This electrifying spectacle will transform Lee Street like you’ve never seen before, with projection, mass movement and Southpaw’s distinctive award-winning storytelling.

Stand Up. Be Heard. Celebrate Your City.
