Coventry City of Culture 2021 is an ambitious cultural programme, starting in May 2021, that reflects Coventry, its people and its ambitions for the future. Coventry is proud to be a diverse, modern city which is re-imagining the role culture can play in bringing people together. It’s is a city of welcome, a city of activists and pioneers, a city of peace and reconciliation, a city of innovation and invention, a City of Culture. Entelechy Arts is delighted to be partnering with Coventry City of Culture to create a new performance with local communities.
