LIFT, London’s international festival of theatre, brings joyful, daring and unforgettable theatre from around the world to London, using the whole of the city as our stage.
Every two years, we present a festival full of bold and relevant culture, international perspectives, and thought-provoking performances. Whether it’s a much-loved venue, iconic landmark or unsung corner of London, LIFT gathers Londoners around incredible art.
Our mission is to create powerful, invigorating experiences that:
- challenge artistic, political and social conventions
- champion artist advancement at home and abroad
- lead sustainable internationalism
- celebrate and connect London to the world.
We engage and create communities around ideas and projects, connecting international artists and local artists to London, and together make incredible art happen.
