Flare15 has announced its six-day programme of new, radical theatre from across the UK, Europe and Australasia.
Featuring a total of 22 performances from 10 different countries, narrowed down from nearly 300 applications, the Manchester programme presents a vision of tomorrow’s theatre.
For the launch, critically-acclaimed theatre company Sleepwalk Collective reprises its ground-breaking performance The Sirens, The Sirens…, which first appeared at Flare in 2011, as well as presenting its brand new piece Actress later in the week.
The festival also sees performances from up-and-coming UK artists including Figs In Wigs, Jamal Harwood, Hannah Sullivan, Thomas Martin, and Rachael Clerke.
New works-in-progress come from Tim Crouch collaborator Andy Smith, and Leentje Van De Cruys.
