A festival will be showcasing the best of Latinx British talent through theatre, music, film and talks this October. Bristol-based arts collective Popelei, the female led theatre group behind the award-winning theatre show Manuelita, has announced the return of PAPAYA Fest.
Running from October 7 until October 15, PAPAYA Fest aims to champion female, Latinx and LGBTQIA+ voices within its fusion of British and Latin American cultures. Taking place at The Wardrobe Theatre and The Old Market Assembly, the second edition of the festival will be jam-packed with shows making their South West debut such as Pepa Duarte’s Eating Myself.
Attendees can also expect three more shows coming straight from the Edinburgh Fringe - including Popelei’s own Edinburgh hit PUSH. Returning to PAPAYA Fest will be multi-hyphenated neuro-queer talent Andrea Spisto, whose previous works include Butch Princesa, with their brand-new show El Dizzy Beast .
