VOILA! EUROPE THEATRE FESTIVAL
Connecting border-busting theatre to citizens of everywhere
at The Cockpit in London, UK & Online
15 – 21 November 2021
Voila! Europe is a multilingual theatre festival produced by The Cockpit. Now in its 9th year, the curated programme of cross-cultural, cross-disciplinary performance connects independent artists and adventurous audiences.
Following the success of the entirely online Voila! festival in 2020, they are planning a hybrid festival in 2021 with performances on stage at The Cockpit in London and online everywhere. Last year showed the resilience and ingenuity of theatre makers, and the silver lining of digital performances: reaching international audiences from Birmingham to Bordeaux via Berlin, Budapest and even Bogotá.
They want to hear your ideas for live online performances, pre-recorded shows with live watch party events, out-of-the-box proposals for digital work, AND live-on-stage theatre to be performed at The Cockpit, our 200-seat thrust or in-the-round venue in Marylebone, London. There are also opportunities to share short works-in-progress in The Cockpit’s Theatre in the Pound online scratch nights in July and November.
The Voila! Festival is a place for artists to create, to connect, and to celebrate collaboration. They support individuals and companies to make a daring leap: presenting a new piece of work, touring to a new audience, or translating a play into a new language. Previous programmes have included cross-cultural mash-ups, adaptations, bilingual comedies, devised theatre, solo performance, puppetry, clowning, circus, dance, music, stand-up, family shows, and more.

Deadline: 11:59PM on 28th April, 2021.
