The PuSh Festival is Vancouver's mid-winter festival presenting acclaimed local, national and international artists. The 7th annual PuSh Festival takes place January 18 - February 6, 2011 at venues in and around Vancouver and offers work from Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Switzerland, Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Poland and Germany. The Festival has been hailed by The Georgia Straight as being “an event that brings the cutting edge to you, lighting an insanely creative bonfire in the middle of the deep, dark winter.” and presents groundbreaking work in the live performing arts with theatre, dance, music, and various forms of multimedia and hybrid performance.
This year the festival boasts 17 Main Series shows, a mapping symposium, and the triumphant return of Club PuSh and the PuSh Assembly networking event. The Festival also features a suite of works that reflect upon Vancouver's 125th Anniversary and notions of 'cityness.'
