FESTIVAL TIMETABLE
Welcome to Incubate Festival 2025!
Today, The MAC becomes a dynamic playground for ideas and experimentation, where seven Northern Irish theatre makers: Soso Ní Cheallaigh, Charlotte McCurry, Steven Millar, Michael McEvoy, Catherine Rees, Seón Simpson, and Simon Sweeney, share a 30-minute glimpse of brand-new works in progress.
Expect an eclectic mix of monologue, dance, stand-up, endurance performance, and more. Whether you’re a dedicated theatregoer, a curious thinker, or simply up for something different, Incubate Festival invites you to step into a space of discovery and conversation.
Thank you for being part of the experiment. Tickets are available at the Mac box office.
Enjoy the festival!
Presented by Tinderbox Theatre Company in association with The MAC
