For All the Wrong Reasons

Lies Pauwels, one of the rising stars of European theatre, came to MIF07 for the world premiere of For All the Wrong Reasons. Created through an intensive process of improvisation with a cast of performers, musicians and dancers from Manchester’s Contact Theatre, the show drew on some typically English traditions to create a very contemporary blend of theatre and dance.
