Future Flares Festival

Future Flares

Four Days of Contemporary Performance (24 27 Jan 2023)

The Future Flares Festival will bring to Manchester the national premiere of an acclaimed performance project from Switzerland, alongside a startling physical performance from Liverpool, and other performance presentations by emerging and established artists based in Manchester. Presented jointly by Manchester School of Theatre and Manchester School of Art, and along with a programme of workshops and events, Future Flares will ask how performance makers are responding to the challenging times we are living in.
