International Season
Welcome to Aberdeen Performing Arts International Season, a ground-breaking series of performances from some of the most innovative and cutting edge performers from around the world.
The International Season marks a significant milestone in the cultural calendar in the North-East of Scotland and will bring world-class entertainment to the region while promoting sustainable touring to the companies coming to Scotland.
With circus, acrobatics, comedy and family events on offer last season, audiences saw some of the highest quality performances and received unparalleled experiences.

Global Talent on Local Stage
The primary motivation behind the International Season is to bring fresh, engaging, and exciting work to the audiences in Aberdeen. Creating a vibrant hub for international artistic expression, and providing locals and visitors alike with access to a range of performances that span cultures and continents.

All Ages Welcome
In curating the International Season, inclusivity was a key consideration. The performances are suitable for all ages, making it a perfect choice for families looking to introduce their children to the arts as well as for seasoned theatre-goers seeking something new.

Unique and Unseen
The emphasis has been on bringing performances that are unique and, importantly, never before seen in Aberdeen. This freshness ensures that each show offers something new, making every performance a discovery and an exclusive experience for the audience.

A Win for Artists….
The season provides an added incentive for international artists to extend their stay in Scotland. This not only makes their overseas tours more financially viable but also reduces their environmental impact, aligning with sustainable practice goals.

… and Audiences
For the artists, it means more exposure and opportunities to engage with new audiences; for the local community, it means access to a broader spectrum of artistic work.
