Suitable for audiences of all ages and free to enter, Made of Stars will wrap everyone in an empowering sensorial experience that draws on the awe inspiring stories of 14 refugee artists led by Iranian film maker Elia Sadeqi, Jaime Perez Sandoval who is a radio presenter from El Salvador, Mudaser Akbari, a young Afghan boxer and Monira Whadat, an Afghan seamstress.

Centred around a stunning 30-foot pyramid, the piece is an exploration of humanity in the modern world and has been created by a community of global artists who have sought refuge in Liverpool.

'Made of Stars has enabled us to work with artists of different colours, faiths, customs, traditions and ways of life from around the world.' - Chris Tomlinson, Turntable Theatre.

The installation then visits 3 other locations across the Liverpool City Region in late October and into November at the Liverpool Boroughs of Knowsley and St. Helens, with Heart of Glass and Liverpool Lighthouse in Anfield.

Chris Tomlinson, from Turntable Theatre, explains: 'Made of Stars has enabled us to work with artists of different colours, faiths, customs, traditions and ways of life from

around the world.'

He added: 'Through devised collaboration with refugee artists and displaced people residing in Liverpool we hope that together we've created stories of hope, joy, accomplishments and a sense of belonging. Because after all, we are shadows and dust. Molecule and atom. Skin and bone. Flesh and blood.

Chris said: 'Made of Stars tells this mind-blowing story. We are very grateful that Made of Stars is free to visit for everyone from the funding support we have very kindly been given for this project to come to life.'

The project is funded by The Arts Council, Culture Liverpool and The Unity Theatre. Made Of Stars is led by Turntable Theatre working with independent creative companies including Sola Arts, Show Studio and Focal Studios.

The City Centre exhibition takes place from Tuesday the 11th of October until Thursday the 20th of October.
