FREE TICKETS 'TWO ROADS' This Weekend!

"Afreena lives in Woodley, a little suburb nestled in between Hyde and Bredbury. Hyde is where Afreena goes to Banoful for her Bengali sweets, gets her eyebrows done, and pops to Asalamoalaikum Cafe when she gets a hankering for Fuchka and Chotpoti. Bredbury is where she goes to christenings at St Mark’s Church. Aside from the hotel currently housing asylum seekers, Bredbury is pretty white.

In Two Roads, Afreena invites the audience to help her navigate her life and her identities, and choose which route to take home tonight."

Written and performed by Afreena Islam - Wright
Directed by Julia Samuels

"Mehek is an enchanting exploration of the human heart, brought to life by the artistry of Aakash Odedra and Aditi Mangaldas, the great South Asian dancers.

This captivating performance gives a voice to an unspoken and overlooked love story. Centred around a mature woman and a younger man, the dance delves deep into their intricate characters, challenging norms and redefining the very essence of love.

In this mesmerizing work, the stage transforms into a canvas where rhythmic tales of desire unfold. The mirrors, akin to the calming waters of the sea, reflect the duality of their love story— Through these mirrors, the performance reveals that love is not only a personal journey within oneself but also a profound connection and exploration through the other.

Derived from the Hindi word for fragrance, the title alludes to the enduring power of memory and the essence of love itself.

Aditi Mangaldas, dancing the first ever duet of her 50-year career."

‘From The Daughter Of A Dictator’ is a collage of fragmented images and anecdotes about displacement, hope, sorrow, joy, and resistance converging into the body and voice of one person trying to orient in a violently loud, crushing world.

This performance is part of Shubbak Festival. Supported by The Lowry, Shubbak is the UK’s largest biennial festival of contemporary Arab culture. www.shubbak.co.uk

In The Power (of) The Fragile Mohamed invites Latifa, his mother with him on stage. After being apart for several years, they find each other again in the theatre.

The Power (of) The Fragile is a meeting of two worlds, two bodies, two minds. Latifa always dreamt of being a dancer, Mohamed made it his profession. The borders of their bodies blur, making it hard to decipher where one ends and the other starts. Their lives and dreams start to merge, and only time claims its space between mother and son.

The Power (of) The Fragile is a collection of images, reflections on what the relation between mother and son can look like, on what it means to be home and to go away. It is a performance about movement, of bodies and people, about weight and what it means to carry weight, about being together and being apart. It is a tender portrait of a close relationship, and a pamphlet for our right to go wherever we want to go.
