Accelerator 2023-24

The 2023 Theme: Money

Each year we set a theme for Accelerator and this year we’re thinking money. Now, don’t get us wrong, we know this is a huge topic and, in many ways, that’s the point. For Accelerator’s third year, we’ve chosen a group of artists with big, intersectional and complex ideas that somehow connect to the theme. Photography credits: Zbigniew Kotkiewicz

With Accelerator we look for bold, imaginative new theatre ideas and work that aims to start a conversation with the world from diverse perspectives.
