Osadia
The sculptural quality of hairstyling becomes theatre in the barber’s chairs of Osadia. This Barcelona street theatre company transforms any audience member who dares accept the challenge to sit, as Osadia’s outlandish performers create original, provocative and sophisticated makeup and hair art, set to fantastic music mixes.
The Colour of Time
As the sun begins to set each day of the festival it will be accompanied by a rainbow eruption of powder and dance with The Colour of Time reinventing India’s traditional Holi festival. Dancers and musicians lead the public along a choreographed parade towards a huge finale, where people throw brilliant shades of gulal powder in the air to joyfully celebrate unity, acceptance and diversity.
Architects of Air – Exxopolis
A brand new, exclusive addition to WOMADelaide 2015 is the remarkable art installation Exxopolis by Architects of Air. This gigantic inflated sculpture will be yours to enter, explore and marvel at the beauty of light and colour concealed within.

Perhaps best of all, WOMADelaideans are invited to join in the parade!
