With belting live music, storytelling and sky-high physical mayhem, flying into Bradford for one weekend only, brace yourself for an unforgettable experience that will set the heart racing and remind us of the joy of being alive.

Rolling into town and set on the back of a HGV lorry, Displace Yourself Theatre brings you A World Without Death. With an international cast of troubadours and aerialists, accompanied by our local Community Chorus, we bring you the tale of a child who is seeking out Death, to try and save their mother’s life. Expect laughter, a few tears, music and dancing, and of course…zombie chickens…

Displace Yourself is a dynamic theatre company based in Bradford, comprised of a wild ensemble of international creatives – from actors to musicians, visual wizards, and wellness specialists all dedicated to spreading joy and healing through our imaginative productions. Our shows are highly visual, a riotous blend of playfulness and tenderness, where audiences aren’t just spectators – they’re part of the action! With over 15 years’ experience under our belt, we create engaging and immersive performances that captivate audiences worldwide.

So buckle up and join us for this incredible tale about every one of us, that will leave you loved-up and dancing!
