Manchester International Festival
Creative Tourist
Manchester became the world’s stage this summer, with Manchester International Festival taking over venues and spaces across the city, including the all-new Factory International.
MIF23 presented 18 extraordinary days of events, performances and happenings in Greater Manchester, where the world’s most exciting creative minds reached across art forms, smashed boundaries, and spoke to urgent contemporary issues.
While the festival’s now come to an end, there’s still a lot of action happening at Factory International, including Yayoi Kusama’s blockbuster exhibition You, Me and the Balloons and Endless Summer, a bumper series of free activities, gigs and DJs, and interactive art.
After summer we’ve got our eyes on Free Your Mind, a world-first dance adaptation of classic sci-fi film The Matrix, directed by Danny Boyle.
