STAT and Greater Manchester Tenants Union present an evening to Keep the City Centre Weird.There is a tendency to see art on the stage – music, theatre, performance – as somehow detached from political organising. We bemoan the loss of our venues and curse our ballooning rents, but we forget they are the product of the same evil: bastard landlordism.Your landlord hates you and hates the art you like. If they got their way, the city would be a new build metropolis forged from noise complaints, gentrification, and corner shops subjugated to the aesthetic approval of yuppies.Like pests, we scurry about in dark corners, praying that the City doesn’t fumigate the small, messy dens we have left. WE ARE VERMIN TO THEM.LINEUPPHILIP’S RAT 🐀 (VASILY RATMANSKY & LYDIA PHILLIPS)– Ratmansky is an American-Ukrainian composer, curator, performer and educator currently based in Berlin. His work concentrates on the experiential side of music, working with different stages, audiences, interactive set-ups and sound goals. He has recently worked with ensembles like Hauen und Stechen, Unfeed-Format, the Commission for New and Old Art, and many others.Phillips plays lots of instruments. She organised the arts programme at The World Transformed 2025 and is a founding member of The Commission for New and Old Art.Ratmansky and Phillips will be performing together in 'Bow Down' at The Black Lights festival in June.HEDGEHOG 🦔 – Hedgehog is a Manchester-based quintet plumbing the depths of neurodivergent post-folk. Listeners will spot the sounds of noise, free improvisation and children’s music, hiding within the cracks of poetry andsong.RATHOG ❓– A rat king confluence of the previous two acts. Not to be missed.+ support from RenslinkDisclaimer:
