Times 7:30pm

Happy Hype is a joyous explosion of a show – a vibrant dance production inspired by the energy of carnival, the diversity of queer club culture and the joy of being alive.

Mixing afrobeat and hip hop tunes, Mulah provides a soundtrack for a show that fizzes with energy – helped by the Ouinches, mischievous little fairies who’ll invite you to join them on the dancefloor. Join them and us for a joyous carnival of liberation, where everyone is free to dance, celebrate and be themselves.
