Future Flares Festival

The Future Flares Festival 2024 brought to Manchester a globe-trotting reflection on destruction and meaning, an international fusion of workshop and performance, the guided tour of a book, some staged performance art, a large-scale exploration of performance and image-making, and more.

Presented jointly by Manchester School of Theatre and Manchester School of Art, Future Flares re-thinks theatre as a location for reality more than illusion, for acts of real destruction and real creation, that might just help with some of the biggest questions facing us today.
