Young carers create their first major project at The Horsfall in Great Ancoats Street, Manchester with interactive theatre makers Tom Bowtell and Annette Mees.
Hidden runs from January 31 to February 11.
The staging draws influence from recent TV shows such as Westworld and Humans. Audiences are cast as employees of a near-future medical company who must choose how best to use ground-breaking technology to transform the lives of people who care for others.
The project has been in development since autumn and the team has worked with more than 50 young carers from across Greater Manchester to develop concept, script, set design and construct a show that puts them at the centre of the debate.
Hidden has a cast of professionals mixed with young carers and is led by Andrew McCain (Burmese Theater Workshop) and Nicky Hargreaves (Guildhall).
