What About Me?
A magical, immersive journey through our local park, created with and by the young people of Salford
Join us in Parr Fold Park for a powerful outdoor performance where the voices of Salford’s young people take centre stage. Through sound, light and storytelling, you’ll be guided on a journey that reimagines the city with playfulness, honesty and bold imagination.
In this unique production, we share the voices of hundreds of young people from across Salford, having frank discussions about where they live, where they play, where they feel safe, and where they want the course of their life to take them.
Let Salford’s young voices lead you. Listen, imagine, and walk into the future.
“When I’m older I wanna bring the whole neighbourhood to each other, talkin’ to each other and makin’ friends. That would be the greatest thing.” - Young Person from Salford
