Spark

Saturday 18th February

PARK is an annual festival of exciting new performance & art at Tobacco Factory Theatres presented by early career artists. Join us in February 2023 for a night of Love beyond valentines, produced by BLUEPRINT.

 

Back for the first time since 2019, SPARK will be an antidote to Valentine’s Day – an exploration of unconventional love in all its forms. We want to hear and see any art that explores love outside of the forced binary of Saint Valentine – whether that be platonic love, collective care, queer love, love for your dog, love for your sister, love for yourself, love for your favourite flavour crisp! If you love it, we want you to share it!

“I’m also just a girl, standing in front of an audience, asking them to love her meal deal choice” – Notting Hill (mostly)
