Hello Welcome
Thank you
A very warm welcome to the summer season at Salisbury Arts Centre. In my first few weeks here I have already experienced the energy and excitement of this lovely venue in its many different moods. Its beautiful spaces provide a superb platform for live music, theatre, dance, family shows and both film and opera screenings.
We’d like to say a massive thank you to:
Highlights for the coming season for me are Le Navet Bete’s production of The Wizard of Oz, the exciting new theatrical and musical piece by Paines Plough, ‘With a Little Bit of Luck’, and music from Martin Simpson, Andy Cutting and Nancy Kerr, but we have so much on offer we are spoilt for choice.

Chris Dobrowolski Friday 3 June 8pm (bar open 7.15pm)
CIRCUS
THEATRE
Join Spanish circus company Vaiven Circo for a high energy, poetic show that combines dance, acrobatics and physical theatre with contemporary circus tricks. Do Not Disturb takes us back to the early 20th century, during a day’s work in a factory. Four characters are asked to build a machine, a 2.5 metre wheel, without any instructions and without even knowing what the machine looks like. They fit items together and then take them to pieces again, solving issues such as balance and counter balance. Their lack of guidance throws up all manner of funny, exciting and risky situations throughout the performance.
Antarctica is the driest, windiest, most inhospitable place on Earth. A place synonymous with failed expedition attempts, with no artists for miles around. A place that Chris Dobrowolski decided was perfect for him. For three and a half months Chris lived and worked at the British Antarctic Survey, trying to experiment creatively whilst (crucially) trying to survive. He discovered that sometimes it’s very difficult to work out what’s real in a land where you simply can’t believe your eyes. Following on from Chris’ acclaimed show All Roads Lead to Rome, Antarctica is an adventure story-PowerPointpresentation about professional failure and real life via tales of overzealous seals, Ladybird books and a sledge built out of gold picture frames.

Son of Saul (15)
Thursday 1 September 7.30pm (bar open 6.45pm) Directed by László Nemes | 107 mins | Hungarian with subtitles Saul is a Hungarian-Jewish Sonderkommando, charged with the horrific duty of burning his own people.
