A searching circus piece about refugees in limbo, acrobats confronting middle age and supreme silliness from a Tokyo troupe are among the international offerings

Vibrancy, musicality and athleticism from Brazilian company Grupo Corpo, founded in 1975, drawing on ballet, contemporary and Afro-Brazilian dance. They bring a double bill of UK premieres to the international festival: Gil Refazendo pays homage to the great musician Gilberto Gil; Gira is inspired by the rituals of the Umbanda religion.
