Stockton on Tees, a North East market town, may seem an unlikely place for one of England’s largest, international street theatre festivals but from
1 – 4 August it will have four major UK premieres and 16 newly commissioned shows. SIRF will once again transform the centre of Stockton for four fantastic days with the finest street theatre, circus, dance, music and pyrotechnics from all over the world. From large scale and spectacular shows to small and intimate experiences, SIRF 13 will provide many memorable moments for visitors. |
