Part of the Walk This Play series by ThickSkin, in association with The Royal Exchange Theatre.
You don’t remember how you got here. Put one foot in front of the other. The world around you is new and strange, looming massive overhead, then vanishing to a tiny point in the far distance. You feel small. You feel hungry. You don’t remember why you need to keep going. Keep going.
Keep Going Then Vanish is a walk around a compulsively changing city, a desperately important mission, a set of instructions for breathing and noticing, an invitation to an unfamiliar Manchester, and a story about remembering and forgetting.
A FREE 45 MINUTE WALKING EXPERIENCE IN MANCHESTER, AVAILABLE NOW
