Four thrilling Southbank Centre performances

Get 25% off four fantastic Southbank Centre shows

We still have a decent chunk of summer left, but September and October in London are already shaping up very nicely indeed — with an eclectic programme of performances at the Southbank Centre. And we've scored you a brilliant discount for four of them.

First up? Contemporary Nigerian dance to keep the summer vibes alive into mid-September (Qudus Onikeku’s Re:INCARNATION). That's followed by two inventive performances celebrating one very special experiential theatre company (Forced Entertainment: Signal to Noise, Tim Etchells & Tony Buck: Go On Like This). Rounding off this cracking quartet is a journey through alternative dance history (Diana Niepce: The Other Side of Dance).

Our readers can claim 25% off any of these four shows by using the promo code LONDONIST at checkout. Read on to find out more about each one and book your tickets.

An Ode To Nigerian Culture

Qudus Onikeku’s Re:INCARNATION takes over Queen Elizabeth Hall on 18 and 19 September. The artistic director of contemporary Lagos-based QDance Company presents an explosive performance that fuses dance, music, fashion and visual art, drawing from both ancient Yoruba philosophy and Nigerian youth culture.

A Forced Entertainment Premiere

A battle to break out of repeated cycles is afoot in Signal to Noise — a playful yet unsettling performance by Sheffield-based ensemble Forced Entertainment, which celebrates its 40th anniversary this year. This new show, at Queen Elizabeth Hall 10-11 October, sees six performers lipsync fragmented AI speech and invites the audience to reflect on the absurdities of interaction.

An Exploration Of Language

As part of the Forced Entertainment anniversary celebrations, one of the ensemble's artists has teamed up with a legendary percussionist for an evening of loops and cacophonies. Tim Etchells & Tony Buck: Go On Like This explores language by blurring the line between sound and sense, via intense repetition and mutating percussive elements.

An Alternative Dance History

Dancer, choreographer and acrobat Diana Niepce challenges conventional aesthetics of the body and movement in The Other Side of Dance. The show, which is part of Dance Umbrella Festival 2024, is described by Niepce as a "survey of the invisible in dance history", drawing inspiration from disabled artists like Bill Shannon, Claire Cunningham and David Toole.
