The natural phenomenon of fireflies provides the inspiration for Spark, the opening show in this year’s Greenwich + Docklands International Festival. The festival also includes the first London showing of Common Wealth’s Peaceophobia, a show which premiered to acclaim in Bradford and which brings together Islamophobia and the subculture of modified car enthusiasts. If you missed Tara Theatre’s Final Farewell first time round there’s a chance to catch this eulogy to pandemic loss, and look out for Fevered Sleep’s audio artwork, The Sky is Filled with Thunder, made with children and young people. This is a festival which always throws up brilliant surprises and many events are free.
