Surge : Tantrum Youth Arts - New Annual


A one-night-only, high-voltage arts party taking over Newcastle Museum.
Electric and unexpected, Surge is a high-voltage extravaganza of art and performance from Newcastle's most exciting early-career artists. Curated by Tantrum Youth Arts and transforming Newcastle Museum for one night only, Surge is a punk explosion of new performance, music, and interactive, visual and installation art.

Audiences are invited to curiously curate their own evening from offerings of both scheduled performances and walk-in experiences: Relive your teenage PDHPE class with the most unhinged teachers imaginable; be rocketed into space for a shimmering alien encounter; join the factory line of a pick/pack to explore workplace tensions; meet outrageous music-creating monsters and make some noise. With more genre-bending surprises to come!

Stay for one performance or go all-in. Come for the thing you know you're gonna love; stay for the unexpected. We double dare you. Full program and timings available in September.
