Billed as ‘not a play’ and ‘not a gig’, Wild Life FM is certainly not going to be what audiences might first expect.

Nine young musicians from Manchester and London will join award-winning performance artist Kim Noble, director Pol Heyvaert and musician, Jakob Ampe to create a brand new performance piece.

In an exploration of identity, anxiety and the drive to forge our own place in the world, the ensemble will create a live radio show.

Taking place at Z-Arts, Wild Life FM offers an honest and raw commentary on how it feels to be young today, and how we can use music as a method of discovering ourselves.
