A joyous success story. Devised by first-time director Benjamin Johnson, 18, the performance has been selected for the National Platform of Sadler’s Well’s Making Moves project. Stacked Wonky’s young performers take to Sadler’s Wells main stage on Tuesday 9 July.
From darkness into light into darkness. 14 protagonists slip between the adult control that defines their lives and the tremendous power they hold.
They say the performer experience is,
“practically impossible unless you are moving through how you are feeling”
We say,
“a wild experiment putting voice, song, breath and bodies on the line”
