HAIFLU EVER AFTER
MAST Mayflower Studios - 6th September 2021, 7.45pm

The runaway creative success story Project Haiflu is coming to MAST in September. Now a full-length show, this crowdsourced poetry and photography project, created by poet and artist Liv Torc, used contributed haiku and photography, alongside music and film, to tell a week-by-week creative social history of the pandemic.

Including live music from project composer and pianist Richard Monks, and crowdsourced poetry from the audience, tickets can be purchased here for a prime-time seat for the show.

A fun, accessible and imaginative 2-hour workshop accompanies the tour using poetry, creative writing and joyful expression to help participants explore themes of wellbeing in a post pandemic world.

This workshop is free to attend in conjunction with a purchased ticket to Haiflu Ever After. A limited number of workshop places are available on a first-come/first-served basis and can be booked here.
