“We are proud of our heritage and would class Hull as our spiritual home.
Official Funding Partners Headline Sponsor We have a team of over 4,000 people across six sites in the city, which
makes us one of the largest employers in the region. We are privileged
to be in a position where we can actively engage with the local community
and help support the social, cultural and economic revolution taking
place in Hull.
“This is our third year as headline sponsor of the Freedom Festival and

like to thank the team for their dedication and hard work to make the event
such a success.
“This year, we have been working with a revolutionary new food sharing app,
OLIO, to tackle food waste and poverty within the city. Unfortunately, Hull
is classed as one of the UK’s Top 5 areas for food poverty and almost 20,000
children of school age are going hungry. We are working hard to help
eradicate this problem.
“In Queens Gardens, we are showcasing the app and encouraging as many
people as possible to sign up to the service. It is a perfect way to ensure no
food goes to waste and also help support local communities. Come over to

l’Homme debout presents RISE!
She has travelled a long way, gathering the stories
of women on her journey across the world. She is
here to explore the city, learn about the dreams
and struggles of the women - past and present -
who have contributed to the story of Hull and to
meet a younger version of herself.
These giants will be accompanied by the beautiful
bird of Freedom. Representing an eternal dream of
equality, she will walk through the streets, meeting
people as she does, and with the spirit of community
and strength of Hull we will all RISE together!
Inspired by the centenary of the Representation
of the People Act, this large-scale processional
performance celebrates and meets local and global
stories of women and their continuing struggle for
equality and human rights.
Following a performance at the Greenwich and
Docklands International Festival, and adapted for
Freedom Festival 2018, her journey continues to Hull.

Full Tilt Aerial Theatre
presents Substratum
Hull College is the stage for this multimedia spectacle,
which combines acrobatic dance with 3D projection.
Set to a contemporary electronic score, performers move
between worlds, walking, leaping and flying off walls, while
the surface of the building is transformed between the
element states of earth, water, space, light and air.
As seemingly solid surfaces shift, Substratum explores
how a changing environment affects how we move within
and experience our world.
Hypnotic and arresting, it explores boundaries between
bodies and bricks, gravity and technology, and certainty
and impossibility.
Substratum is a collaboration between Full Tilt Aerial
Theatre and creative technologists Limbic Cinema, with
an original composition by Ahmet Kenan Bilgic and Serkan

What happens when you mix nine jugglers, 100 apples
and four crockery sets? Find out at a tea party you’ll
never forget!
Presented through nostalgic film scenes exploring themes
of conflict, lost love and the tradition of afternoon tea,
SMASHED is a mesmerising mix of circus and theatre.
Premiering at the National Theatre’s Watch This Space
Festival in 2010, SMASHED is inspired by the work of the
great choreographer, Pina Bausch. Combining elements
of her gestural choreography, with the intricate patterns
and cascades of solo and ensemble juggling, SMASHED
lightly disrupts the rigid conventions of etiquette, dress
and body language.
With a soundtrack featuring popular songs ranging
from Tammy Wynette to Bach, this funny, inventive
and characterful work will challenge your perception
of contemporary juggling.
SMASHED was originally commissioned as a short
outdoorpiece for the Watch This Space Festival at
the National Theatre in 2010.
