They also created four soundtracks exploring the story from different perspectives which the audience listened to through head phones in the two performances, in Sitges in March and in Barcelona in May.
We invited the students to participate in Manchester Day to reinforce links with Barcelona and they have worked with Walk the Plank's Liz Pugh and parade choreographer Ruth Jones to adapt the performance to suit the demands of Manchester Day's Parade, where they are one section within a much larger Parade.
