Here’s the highlights from Go Festival 2024 !
Hippos – Zum Zum Teatre
HIPPOS are a street theatre show that challenges the appearances and stereotypes imposed by society. Three hippos dance, live and interact with people, but beyond the fun, a message is hidden, that of respect for difference.
Get Lost – Joe Garbett Dance 
Get Lost is about encouraging curiosities, igniting adventures and pushing past stereotypes.
As the story unfolds (literally, the dance floor is a huge unfolding map!) the relationship between the two relatable characters is ambiguous. The two dancers are empathetic, hyper, soft and tactile as they support, celebrate and solve their way through this wholesome yet high energy performance.
Thingamabob – Matt Pang
With an internationally renowned blend of circus, invention and humour, Matt brings to life a giant ball slinging, self exploding piece of handcrafted gadgetry, inspired by the famous Rube Goldberg machines and Heath Robinson contraptions.
Collection Day – Rhubarb Theatre
Rhubarb Theatre bring a dustbin of fun, a black sack of eco messages and heaps of mime, physical theatre, comedy, puppetry, and creativity into this brand-new storytelling piece.
Midsummer Carnival
The lively and colourful parade featured people from the Zodiac All Stars , Montserrat Masqueraders and a specially commissioned Summer Queen – dressed in a new costume made with help from the local community.
Themed decorations in the town centre were designed by artists from Curiosity Creators and Lumo Workshop working with the community, to complement the town’s Bunting Blast, created by Electric Egg – with flags around the town designed by local children.
Safari So-Goody, Rhythm in movement, G Town dance crew, Emily Toward, Charlotte Turland, American Daughters, Summer sounds DJ set along with local primary schools all contributed to a wonderful day.
This event was made possible by funding from West Lindsey District Council’s UK Shared Prosperity Fund, Arts Council England, and Gainsborough Town Council.
