An evocative outdoor performance that unfolds in a natural setting, inviting audiences to stumble upon a tapestry of personal narratives expressed through the powerful fusion of dance and spoken word. Centred around a cast of Black boys and men, this intimate production explores themes of identity, resilience, vulnerability, and the beauty of shared experience.
