Best of Fest

The highlight of The Elysian's first year of existence was hands-down the final sprint of our year one - Forget About Spaghetti Festival. These shows have been specifically selected because they stood out for being surprising spectacles.

We believe in these performers so if you like the weird, wonderful and courageous - then you'll love these shows. Thoughtful reviews inside.

Festival team Picks

Just like a bookstore, we asked a few of our staff to pick two shows they’re excited to see. Enjoy!

Introducing: “Shirt”

Introducing “shirt.” A new concept that The Elysian is experimenting with. Our shows are wild, new and uncategorizable. Just like this concept. Shirt! You wear it on your upper body. It can be the size XS or even the size S. Some are even L.
