THE GREAT AND THE GRAND: MANCHESTER
(2020)
The Great and the Grand is a participatory performance project inspired by our ‘grandad cabaret’ Rendezvous in Bratislava.
Travelling around the UK, we work with participants who identify as 1st-, 2nd- and 3rd-generation migrants to create many more time-travelling music theatre performances, this time featuring stories of participants’ own grandparents, performed by the participants themselves.
In Spring 2020, The Great and the Grand rolled into Manchester, working with a cast of Greater Manchester residents and produced by Manchester Jewish Museum as part of their Festival of Belonging.
“Participatory theatre done in a truly collaborative and caring way.”
