One of the leading worldwide incubators for new, cutting-edge art.

Though the festival has an international outlook and reputation, it

also showcases Manchester stories and talent.

Um dos lideres mundiais em arte inovadora e de vanguarda.

Apesar de ter uma reputação e foco internacionais, o festival
também exibe historias e talentos de Manchester.

We bring together artists from different art forms and backgrounds

(EXPERIENCIAS) to create dynamic, innovative and forward-
thinking (fora da caixa) new work, which we stage in a rich tapestry
of venues (VARIEDADE DE ESPAÇOS) across Greater
Manchester – from theatres, galleries and concert halls (CASAS DE
SHOW) to railway depots, churches and car parks. We work closely
with venues, festivals and other cultural organisations around the
world, whose financial and creative input helps to make many of
our projects possible and guarantees that they have a life after
each Festival has ended. (CUJO APORTE FINANCEIRO E
