YMCA Northumberland

@mortalfoolsuk Young Company present Flux – 12 unique young voices come together on stage on 1st April at @YMCANorthumberlandNE, to explore what it means to question your identity in a world that feels determined to put you in a box. Tickets are available now!

Figuring it out and fitting in; what makes you, you?

Flux is a contemporary theatre show devised and performed by young people showcasing an original soundtrack, bold set design, and the incredible talent, insights and lived experience of Mortal Fools Young Company.

Flux is for teenagers, young people and adults – it’s heart-warming, hopeful, colourful, bold, empowering, funny, poignant, thought provoking and a reminder, that you’re not alone in feeling like a “mess” sometimes. We’re all trying to figure this out…… and for an hour or so we’re in it together….

Performance Information

#Flux2023 lands in YMCA Northumberland, Ashington 1 April, 2pm & 6pm
