PuSh International Performing Arts Festival 2026
PuSh International Performing Arts Festival is excited to announce the programming for the 2026 Festival, which returns to Vancouver from January 22 to February 8, 2026. For two and a half weeks, PuSh Festival invites audiences to discover innovative contemporary works of live performances by local, national and international artists. PuSh has been the city’s midwinter anchor for more than two decades—a place where live arts are celebrated, where risk is rewarded, and where audiences engage with bold, audacious performances.
The 2026 PuSh Festival will continue to defy the bounds of discipline, bringing together 25 presentations of theatre, dance, music, installation, film, and multimedia performance. Rooted in PuSh’s artistic vision to animate culture and accelerate social change through performance, the Festival will present works that ask big questions, unsettle expectations, and create space for emotional resonance.
