✨ Bookings now open - indoors/outdoors (Aug 2026 – 2027) ✨

XTRAX is delighted to share The Divination Palace by Nzi Dada — a unique, immersive performance experience that can be presented both indoors and outdoors.

Created by Dr Jim Parris (UK) and Xumo Nounjo (Catalonia/Cameroon) in association with Company Chameleon, this participatory installation draws inspiration from African divination practices. Audiences are invited into a rich, multi-sensory world where music, movement, and fabric come together to create a contemporary ritual of reflection and connection.

Following its premiere in 2025, the work is now fully tour-ready — complete with a bespoke outdoor rigging structure and a design that travels easily (yes, it fits in suitcases ✈️), making it adaptable to a wide range of venues and festivals.
