Under the direction of performer/designer Eleni Edipidi, Levantes Dance Theatre creates theatrical contemporary circus which is inclusive and visually strong.
The company’s latest touring project is Run Rabbit Run, a mid-scale production available in Autumn 2025 which brings together physical theatre, quirky characterisation, vibrant aesthetics and aerial choreography. The darkly humorous storyline reveals family secrets, some familiar, some mysterious, nailing some home truths as dinner is served. The professional cast of six multi-disciplined performers will be joined by a group of over 60s from the local community. Music is by Manchester’s finest folk-hop band Honeyfeet and costumes are by Abby Grewcock.
Other touring projects by Levantes include the company’s small scale outdoor spectacular High Tea (With A Twist), performed around an elaborately laid tea table, Canapé Art Walkabout, a revival of the company’s production THE BAND (in both outdoor and theatre versions) and HUG, a contemporary circus performance and living installation for outdoor settings which will explore the relationship between people, objects and the environment. HUG is supported by Without Walls and commissioned by Ensemble Festival, Birmingham Weekender, Brighton Festival and Stockton International Riverside Festival.
