GDIF 2024 | London’s free, annual outdoor performing arts festival 23 August-8 September 2024
PAN CATWALK
6, 7, 9 & 10 September | 1.30pm & Live AD 4.00pm | Canary Wharf
Duration: 40mins
What to Expect: Dance
Free
Two performers, one catwalk and a never-ending row of outfits.
From a worn-out denim jacket to an extravagant glitter dress, our clothes are an expression of who we are, want to be, and sometimes have to be.
Through a fusion of fashion, choreography, live music and theatre, this performance, challenges the urge to label or judge others based on how they appear, revealing instead a mind-opening celebration of fluidity and self-expression.

Zwermers (‘Swarmers’) is a performance company based in Tilburg, The Netherlands focusing on location based and interdisciplinary performances. The company is rooted in Tilburg and likes to swarm around (inter)nationally. Zwermers wants to stimulate the imagination and the flexibility of our definition of ‘being- human’; how do we as humans relate to the self and the context in which we live. Placing big questions about identity in a tangible and recognizable environment, Zwermers celebrates the infinite diversity and complexity of humanity.
