Segue 2015
Imagined with the idea of creating a platform in Canberra for an Australia-Europe cultural dialogue, SEGUE premiered in 2015 to celebrate our shared contemporary world – what connects us, what enriches us through difference. Profiling contemporary performance with a European dimension and exploring the many creative influences generated by our shared history the festival takes place over Europe Day celebrations.
