Natalie Reckert: Songs for an Unwritten Sky

Fri 09 Oct 2026 and Sat 10 Oct 2026

Songs for an Unwritten Sky is a performance exploring the past, present, and imagined futures of Pier 8 at Salford Quays.

Blending music, poetry, and acrobatics, acclaimed theatre maker Natalie Reckert creates a performance inspired by the memories, experiences, and hopes of the people who live and work in Salford. Accompanied by musician Xenia Garden and acrobat-singer Joana Dias the piece weaves together stories of community, resilience, and aspiration, imagining more communal, ecological, and collaboratively created futures for our cities.

This project is supported by Arts Council England and the New Authors Circus Development Programme.

Natalie will be running a Bunker Talk at Manchester Poetry Library on Tuesday 22nd September. You can book a free spot for this here
