VOILA!

Produced and presented by The Cockpit
The Cockpit presents the annual Frenglish festival

Voila! is a unique annual rendez-vous where francophone and anglophone cultures meet, through performance.
For the fourth year in a row, Voila! proposes an eclectic program showcasing theatre in French, in English, or both, that is sure to piqué your interest!

This year, Voila returns. Avec attitude.

Brexit will mean London becomes less international, less multicultural, more closed and narrower in its appeal and scope. No it will not. It will mean the reverse. Because renewed determination to relate across boundaries, take control and flourish will follow any tendency to contain or restrict our city to national anxieties.

Voila. And again Voila. Le beat goes on. Le spectacle continue. All welcome. Passports not required.
