This October, the streets, buildings, nooks and crannies of Morecambe are the stage for an undercover scavenger hunt.
A phone app gives you clues, guiding you through the town in search of performances and installations hidden amidst everyday life. In the process, you’ll have surprising encounters, hear unique perspectives and see Morecambe in new ways.
HereNowThis celebrates Morecambe as we know it now, while asking you to imagine what it might become. HereNowThis only happens once: you get your mission at The Launch on 24 October, The Hunt takes place on 25 October, after which everyone comes together for The Gathering – the festive conclusion involving music, refreshments and reflection.
Zuppa is an award-winning theatre company based in Halifax, Nova Scotia (Canada). The company’s work has been seen at major venues and festivals across Canada, the US and the UK.
“They’re a rare beast – a contemporary theatre company that makes progressive, intelligent work that manages to also be challenging without being alienating, funny without being silly, innovative without being gimmicky”
Matthew Austin, Mayfest (Bristol, U.K.)
The Launch: Friday 24 October, 6.30pm
The Hunt: Saturday 25 October, 2-5pm
The Gathering: Saturday 25 October, 7.30pm
