Unreal Cities

Unreal Cities is a multi-disciplinary arts project, founded by Adrian Dunbar and Nick Roth.

Unreal Cities follow an ethos centred on the power of three, with each work the meeting point of three disciplines. As in William Burroughs' and Brion Gysin's The Third Mind, it is the inclusion of an other that advances the work.

Previous work includes T.S. Eliot's The Waste Land (2015), Seamus Heaney's Seeing Things (2019), curating the Beckett Biennale (Beckett: Confined 2022, Beckett: Unbound 2024) with the Liverpool Institute of Irish Studies, and with performances at the Hay Festival, Queen Elizabeth Hall @ London Jazz Festival and the Biblioteca Alexandrina.

In 2026 Unreal Cities present Beckett: Lieben in Liverpool, the third edition of their Beckett Biennale programme of theatre, dance, music, film, photography and discussion.
