MST minus zero: MFA Contemporary Performance Productions (I See Red)

Manchester School of Theatre (MST) invites you to a double bill of cutting-edge performance practice from our MFA Contemporary Performance students – class of 2023! This year, MST minus zero will premiere two original works from the theatre makers of the future, at the final stage of their studies here at the prestigious Manchester School of Art, ready to launch their professional careers in the performance industry.

I See Red is our final performance of both nights, beginning at 8:30pm - 9:30pm in Grosvenor East GF17 and performed by Silvestre Correia, with music by José Valente.

Description:

In a secret place, there exists Wendy. Restless and with no grand objective, she dances in fear. The colour red haunts her, obfuscating her reality in a sad shade of pink. A macabre perception of femininity composed by the troubled imagination of its director, who has moulded his transgender experience into a semi-autobiographical absurdist horror, which dissects his experience of gender - both physically and mentally.
