Are you ready to step into the future and explore the ruins of the past?
Join X2-729 on a walking tour through a long-lost civilisation that had the audacity to think it was the centre of the universe. From abandoned office-blocks to traffic lights, you’ll see it all on this unforgettable adventure – and who knows, maybe you’ll even learn a thing or two about what not to do when building a civilisation.
The Ruins of Earth is a new theatrical experience written by AI, curated by Mancunian theatre makers and tech-enthusiasts leo&hyde.
Following on from their AI-themed Coffee Shop Musical, this sci-fi theatrical walking tour will make you laugh out loud, cry inside – and look at your doomed existence from a whole new perspective.
The Ruins of Earth is commissioned by Manchester Independents, a development scheme brought together by cultural organisations across Greater Manchester, to support and connect independent talent in the region.
Dates & Times
£12 / £9.50 concession
