big push

Why play it safe when you can dive into the deliciously avant-garde?

Shaking up the culture calendar at the top of the year and boasting trail-blazing acts of all genres, from here to Auckland, New Zealand, the PuSh International Performing Arts Festival opens today.

Must-see shows include:
Billy Twinkle where Toronto's Ronnie Burkett delivers provocative puppetry for grown-ups.
13 Most Beautiful which sets the live music of Dean and Britta (the duo behind The Squid and the Whale score) to Andy Warhol's iconic screen tests.
The Night Follows Day with its cast of 17 school-aged children expounding on how adults shape their world.

And that's just the tip of the entice-berg. Watch the show reel to get a feel for the rest of the fest.

The PuSh Festival runs until February 8, for more information visit www.pushfestival.ca
