Future Flares Festival 2025

Future Flares Festival returns once again, with a curated programme of innovative politically engaged performances, plus related talks and workshops. This year’s line-up will feature work from radical performance makers including ‘Get Off’, an ‘in yer face’ look at desire by Katy Baird, the ecologically devastating ‘Vigil’ by Mechanimal/Tom Bailey, and what promises to be a thrilling new ‘30 min set’ by Lewys Holt, alongside pieces by leading artists/researchers based at Manchester Met including Dan Dubowitz, Brigitte Jurack, Andrea Maciel, Michael Pinchbeck and others.
