Online Film Screening of Performance
Critically acclaimed for translating real-life testimonies into beautifully crafted performance work, Vincent’s In Loco Parentis sheds light on the extraordinary resilience of care-experienced young people, demanding that their stories be seen and heard.
Three adult and two extraordinary young performers combine movement, strong visual imagery and spoken word to explore the cycles of rupture and repair that drive children into care. The work exposes the emotional impact that foster care and adoption has on young people’s lives and reflects on everyone’s need to feel safe and to belong.

Tickets: £10/£8

Online Live Streamed Performance | This performance will be live streamed from the stage at HOME Manchester.
We live in a time where old orders are collapsing. From the post-colonial nation states of the Middle East, to the EU and the American election. Through it all, tech savvy and bloodthirsty groups run through European drawn border lines. Amidst this, a generation of young men, find themselves burning with resentment; without the money, power and sex they think they deserve and this crisis of masculinity leads them on a journey into an online world of fantasy, violence and reality.

Prodigal Theatre: The Fight
Tickets: £12/£10

Britain wins a protracted war with Europe, but can it win the peace? The rich are getting richer but the poor still starve. Within a few years protests against the government spill into violence on British streets. Sound familiar? In 1821 William Hazlitt, the greatest prose writer in the English language, went to see his first bare knuckle boxing match. Through his eyes Prodigal Theatre, the team behind the multiple award-winning Tragedian Trilogy take a look at combat, the violence of men and the rivalry of nations.
This is a preview of Prodigal’s new play. The performance will be followed by a Q&A.
Written by Alister O’Loughlin, after William Hazlitt. Direction and Dramaturgy by Miranda Henderson.
