After a three year pandemic-induced gap STREETS AHEAD is back with a weekend of eccentric, to say nothing of downright weird, street theatre and other strange goings-on – something Manchester has been starved of in recent years.
The event is completely FREE and the action-packed programme will take place in four locations across Castlefield and the spaces in-between.
There are twenty acts to enchant, amuse and delight including:
- Traditional street theatre (with buckets)
- Contemporary dance (with fountains)
- Gruesome puppetry (to delight kids and adults alike)
- Culinary twists (do try these at home!)
- The Castlefield Gymkhana (an opportunity to get in touch with your inner pony)
And at last there’s the chance to enjoy the much delayed premieres of:
AVANTI DISPLAY, Manchester favourites return at long last with their new classic show
KAPOW DANCE CIRCUS THEATRE with their watery spectacle Mayfly
FROLICKED are Seeing Red, their original take on Red Riding Hood
STRONG LADY – the strongest woman of the streets arts scene shows that we’re all Strong Enough
THE MERLIN SHEPHERD KLEZMER QUARTET, featuring Britain’s best klezmer clarinetist
And you might miss The Invisible Man bought to you by INVISIBLE STATES look out, he may be behind you!
All this and many other great shows including one that will even (or especially) appeal to dogs – all canines welcome.
And of course there will be plenty of food and drink, pizzas, curries, barbecue fruit bowls and more.
