From 2015 - 2019, the Zest team created and produced all the theatre elements at
Lost Village Festival. Take a look at some of our work below.
Lost Village in an immersive festival experience like no other. The forest is completely transformed with intricate set designs, decoration and installations, combined with a huge cast of characters, who play out the story of the Lost Village. 17,000 Festival-goers step into the story each year, interacting with characters and guiding events as they unfold. Cutting-edge music, incredible food, water-side relaxation, hilarious comedy and insightful talks and workshops all combine to create a totally incomparable experience...
“People gathered at the lake to catch a collaborative performance by the actors seen dotted around the site all weekend...A cloud drifted across the moon, curling around it and darkening the sky. It was as if the organisers had managed to rope the moon into the performance. So seamless was the organisation of Lost Village 2017 that a cooperative moon was almost believable.”
“Lost Village far outperforms the rest of the festival circuit on its all-consuming narrative... This was like a live film set – a mystery to be unpicked for anyone curious enough to piece together the clues.”
“Festival Perfection”
“The event has a large cast of actors and a director, so there’s a constant story unravelling”
“An Absolute Stormer”
