Luminato 2018 Is Here – June 6 to 24
RIOT: Riotous cocktail of dance, drag, circus, and comedy from Ireland’s greatest artistic hooligans
Luminato is Toronto’s international arts festival dedicated to performance, media and visual arts, and programming that cuts across traditional artform boundaries. The 2018 festival takes place from June 6 to 24, 2018.
Much has happened since last year’s festival. The world has awakened anew to age-old issues and Toronto is no exception. So, in this year’s program you will find many opportunities to engage with questions about equality, human rights, justice and inclusion. Whether through drama, dance, music or comedy, artists explore, challenge and celebrate. Please enjoy your 2018 Luminato festival. We look forward to welcoming you.”
–Josephine Ridge, Artistic Director
It’s here – the 2018 Luminato festival begins today! We cannot wait to spend the next 19 days with you. Over 33 shows in 18 venues featuring 3,000 artists from Toronto and around the world.
