The works invite you to explore, play, and reflect through interactive encounters, blurring boundaries between physical and digital experience, and opening new ways of engaging with space and narrative.

This event is part of the V&A Performance Festival 2026 and will run from 11.00 - 17:00 both days. 
Please note: places are limited and allocated on a first come first served basis. Last entry at 16:30. No booking is required.  This event is suitable for all ages, with something for everyone.
