Manchester-born 2012 Opening Ceremony supremo Danny Boyle is to launch a funfair-themed Bank Holiday weekend celebration of Manchester’s new centre for international contemporary art, theatre and film HOME on May 21.
Taking inspiration from HOME’s opening activity across art, theatre and film, the ensuing weekend events will have a celebratory funfair theme.
Interactive film screenings, chatshow-style discussions, live musical performances and events will light up the Bank Holiday weekend, mixing family-friendly activities, musical performances and entertainment with internationally-significant commissions in a Mancunian celebration.
