Where The Light Gets In: A Play in the City.

Where The Light Gets In: A Play in the City.

“A city is more than a place in space, it’s a drama in time”

 

We’re embarking on an extraordinary five-month journey through food, art, and the city with Where The Light Gets In: A Play in the City. From November 2024 to March 2025, we’ll take over Manchester, creating a concept restaurant and immersive residency that questions the future of our food systems, urban development, and the very nature of how we live in cities.

 
 

As part of this programme, we’ll host a series of workshops, exhibitions, and dining experiences, asking ourselves: are we heading toward a dystopia, or can we rewrite our future?

Set against the backdrop of the vibrant city, this residency is an opportunity for the community to come together, engage in thought-provoking discussions, and immerse in a narrative that explores the tension between city life and rural traditions.

Through these four acts, we’ll reflect on food, culture, and the environment, confronting the pressing issues of ecological responsibility. This isn’t just about dining; it’s about engaging with food stories that reflect our commitment to responsive cooking and mindful consumption. We’re inviting everyone to be part of this dialogue—exploring our identity within the city and nature, and considering what we can do to balance urban growth with environmental resilience.
