NEW VENUE Tricky Hat Productions The Flames

Please note, this event has moved to Tramway, 25 Albert Drive, Glasgow, G41 2PE.

Following the fire at Glasgow School of Art and the O2 ABC music venue, the Centre for Contemporary Arts remains within the cordoned area in Garnethill. At this time, we expect to remain closed until Monday 15 October.

We are working with our programme partners who had scheduled events throughout this period. Details of new venues and cancellations are here.

The Flames will reignite in a striking and innovative mix of film, music and performance to explore stories about life after fifty, presenting a fresh look at how we approach ageing. 


This year, The Flames will combine older voices from Japan, Scotland and younger voices collaborating with leading young people’s company Junction 25.

Join The Flames for a unique performance of devised work, taking inspiration from everyday life, to challenge pre-conceived ideas of how older people think, and what they aspire to.

Tickets purchased via CCA can be collected at Tramway on the day. Please also note that pre-sales will end Fri 12 Oct, but further tickets will be available on the door (cash only) on the day, subject to availability.
