public art from around the world.<br />
For your chance to win, let us know which show you’d like to win tickets for, and why. The three most<br />
compelling entries will win a pair of tickets to their preferred performance. View the full programme of<br />
events at sickfestival.com.<br />

SICK! Festival aims to confront and challenge the<br />
taboos around social, physical and mental health<br />
issues through the arts. It’s supported by postshow<br />
discussions and public debates to break down<br />
barriers and discuss the issues that really matter.<br />
In American Man, you can be drawn into the not-toodistant<br />
future, where celebrity power and political<br />
correctness have reached new heights, while The<br />
Game uses real-life sex-worker testimonies and five<br />
male volunteers from <strong>Brighton</strong> to show that when<br />
you play the game, the consequences are very real.<br />
