Theatre
Synopsis:
WHEN I LOOK AT YOU, WHEN OUR EYES CONNECT?
I HAVE TO PROTECT… TO HOLD ON TO SOMETHING, ’CAUSE THERE’S TOO MUCH TO FEEL…
Four generations of black men are trying to understand themselves in a world which tells them they have to be strong.
Inspired by real-life testimony and told through an explosive fusion of physical theatre, hip-hop dance and text, SAMSKARA explores vulnerability, emotional trauma and how cycles of fathering affect masculinity.
Moving through joy and suffering, laughter and longing, this soul-baring odyssey by award-winning artist Lanre Malaolu untangles what it means to be a black man in 21st Century Britain.
What will be passed on and what will be left behind?
