​This year’s festival will take place on 5th – 7th November 2026, as part of our continued partnership with Leeds School of Art. We're thrilled to present the Leeds premiere of a brand-new opera, Our Eyes Looking for God by Renell Shaw, TD. Moyo and April Koyejo-Audiger, a co-production with the Barbican . We’ll also be showing two new works-in-progress, alongside a variety of workshops and gatherings; throwing open the door to anyone who wants to find out more about how our work is made, and what’s coming up next. Leading up to the festival, there will be a programme of workshops and creative projects for communities all over Leeds, all free to access. 

​

We'll be in touch with full details of the festival programme in August, and you can read more about Our Eyes Looking for God on the Barbican’s website via the link below – in the meantime, save these dates! 5th – 7th November 2026.
