Quays Festival returns this August with an explosion of colour and free activity across the weekend of Sat 14 – Sun 15 August for everyone to enjoy. We hope to see you there!
Powerflex by Scarabeus Aerial Theatre
Outdoor aerial performance on The Lowry tower
Sat 14 Aug: 1pm & 4pm
Sun 15 Aug: 11am & 3pm
Contemporary circus company Scarabeus will present a brand new aerial theatre performance, POWERFLEX: a vertical journey where the building becomes the vessel for exploring power. Upon the tower, four aerial artists will express the triumphant feeling of being powerful, in charge of one’s life and the ability to cause positive change for oneself and our community.
Through No.4 by Liz West
MediaCityUK steps
New permanent outdoor installation
Quays Festival celebrates the launch of Through No. 4, a six-metre long triangular corridor of light and colour created for semi-permanent display at MediaCityUK, Salford. The walk-through structure encourages visitors to look at their surroundings in a different light. Making their way inside the multi-coloured corridor through either side of the structure, visitors can see the world around them transformed by saturate colour. The coloured barrier between the outside and inside creates a multi-coloured striped cloak and distortion in an array of different hues and overlaid mixed colours, transforming the usual colourations and appearance of the outside environment.
