& The GIFT Exchange 2021
"Gateshead international festival of theatre – a virtual, virtuoso delight...The annual extravaganza was moved ingeniously online for a weekend of shows united in their celebration of togetherness"
A massive thank you to everyone who helped make the 2020 digital edition of GIFT & The GIFT exchange in 2021 such big, beautiful, experimental successes.
Thousands of people all across the world tuned into 36 performances, installations and interactive events, connecting together across 26 countries and seven digital channels.
A huge thank you to everyone who watched, took part, and fully embraced the festival’s digital version, which was reimagined this year to replace our regular festival home in Gateshead. GIFT would not be possible without you.
