Removing boundaries between artists and audience, performers and partiers has always been at the heart of The Zoo Project Festival. Ibiza’s finest ‘The Minx FX’ will perform alongside the UK’s biggest performance company Area 51 throughout the event, expect world-class performance from animalistic acrobats, dancers, contortionists & more.
The Zoo Project say: “This one’s not for the feint- hearted! Roll on September!”
