Telescope is a brand new work by internationally renowned artist-group Quarantine – a live exhibition of borrowed belongings, and their owners’ thoughts about where they belong.
Do different generations value things differently? Young people on the cusp of adulthood and older people who’ve lived a life have been invited to lend us something to display at Manchester Museum – maybe something they’d be devastated to lose, something they’d like to get rid of, something they found and kept…
Over four days, drop in to see this evolving exhibition, animated by performer-hosts, who ask the lenders a series of questions as starting points for conversations that are by turns complex, funny, familiar, extraordinary – and profoundly human.
It’s an insight into what we hold on to; what we value and why, both individually and as a society.
‘Quarantine is a remarkable theatre company that has created a body of beautiful, fragile and authentic work, which finds the extraordinary in the ordinary lives of real people.’ Guardian
