“We are the ones we have been waiting for.” June Jordan
It’s 2018, and we live in a rapidly changing world. We are the Generation Rising, the future leaders. We want to take you on a journey, and show you how it could be.
Welcome to our world, there is a place for you here.
Intertwining biographical narratives, visual performance, live music and audio soundscapes; this performance offers a generous and honest account of the lives and experiences of a collective of young people living in Manchester.
Inspired by an exploration of personal difference, this intimate and powerful performance centres around the stories and voices of a young company, fuelled by moments of heart-break, politics and uplifting wisdom.
This living piece is an utterly sincere definition of beauty in an imperfect world. CYA@HOME courageously share their stories to inspire a hopeful vision for our future.
This is a generation rising.
