PuSh Festival
January 20-February 6, 2022
Celebrating its 18th season in 2022, the PuSh International Performing Arts Festival delivers ground-breaking, contemporary works of dance, theatre, multimedia and music by artists from Vancouver, across Canada and around the world.

This year the festival features fourteen different works from three countries. This includes a trio of world premieres and two Canadian premieres! On top of that, there are a few other performances at the more casual and interactive Club PuSh on Granville Island.

As always, the festival line-up is dedicated to creative risk-taking and dynamic interdisciplinary collaboration. This year there is an extra emphasis on Canadian artists. There are, however, works by British and American artists as well.

Tickets start at just $20. To purchase tickets, visit the pushfestival.ca website or call the PuSh Festival Audience Services info line at 604-449-6000.
