Jitterbug

Step into the Jitterbug and lose yourself in Gregor's bizarre and fantastical world. Inspired by Kafka’s timeless masterpiece, Metamorphosis, the Jitterbug tent stands as a marvel of transformation and discovery.

To celebrate Kafka’s Metamorphosis, from 31 May to 2 June University Park will be taken over by ‘Jitterbug’, an incredible and enormous inflatable bug tent from award-winning artists Trigger.

A free programme of day to night creative activities will take place inside the insect, with workshops and events for all ages: from talks, yoga and crafting to storytelling hosted by Story Museum and a drag cabaret extravaganza, with a brand-new collaboration between Oxford-based MC Rawz and aerialist Julia Sparkle.

This captivating programme will unfold within the epic Jitterbug structure, designed by the acclaimed Carl Robertshaw (Kylie Minogue, Stranger Things). Everything is free to attend, but booking is required for parts of the programme.
