Actor, activist, writer, director and all round general delight Maxine Peake joins us as our first guest on Dream Space. Born and raised in Bolton, Maxine has a long relationship with Manchester and is no stranger to Manchester International Festival where she has performed multiple times - including this year at MIF23 where she performs an adaptation of Kay Dick’s dystopian novel ‘They’. Maxine takes us on a journey through bonfires, primal instruments and witchy rituals with a hope to make us all feel more connected.factoryinternational.org/dreamspaceProduced by Reduced Listening for Factory International.

What does art have the power to do, when we allow ourselves to dream? Gemma Cairney speaks with some of the world’s most exciting artists to take us on a journey through an imaginary space where nothing is off limits. With infinite resources at their disposal and a blank canvas to imprint their vision on, the challenge is to stage their dream art extravaganza. Hosted on Acast.
