Description

A compellingly captivating ode to the Black British war veterans, telling various stories of men and women of Black British heritage who fought in WWI and WWII. It is an interdisciplinary performance that weaves dance, text, live music and visuals to capture the participation of these brave men and women who were often hidden from the British war effort. Choreography utilises African, Caribbean, contemporary and Lindy Hop dance styles. The live music of the berimbau and the violin creates an atmosphere of uncertainty and ambiguity, of embarking on this journey to the unknown!
