UNREAL is a festival of magic and performance at Battersea Arts Centre. It is curated by Tom Cassani, Augusto Corrieri and Tim Bromage, and brings together artists from across the UK and Europe working at the intersection of magic and performance. Over five days, audiences encounter images, transformations and moments of collective awe, as sleight of hand and stage illusion are reimagined through theatre, choreography and live art. The festival invites audiences behind the curtain, questioning assumptions about what we see, hear and believe.
