Information - Far From The Norm / Until We Sleep

Botis Seva’s latest Hip Hop theatre production, Until We Sleep, is a journey underlined with a resistance to change.

Amidst the oppression of leadership, a lone warrior yearns for faith as they lead a wandering community through shifting passages of time. With a celestial blend of percussion and gutteral sounds, music bleeds effortlessly into an undulating style of movement performed by Far From The Norm. Feathered costumes give glimpses of kindred spirits transcending above their former identities, whilst piercing light interrupts the stage as a pitiless testing ground, reminding us of a higher power that carves our reality.

Until We Sleep displays the heaviness of hope against the burden of responsibility, yet within the conflict, there exists a softness that breathes life into existence.

After the performance on Friday 24 January, please join us for a post-show talk.
