ADVENTURES IN HIP-HOP, THEATRE AND PUPPETRY

The Broke ‘N’ Beat Collective are back… and this time, they’re going international…

20 Stories High and Theatre-Rites award-winning collaboration (ASSITEJ Young Critics Award 2016) will be performed at two festivals this autumn: The Bristol Festival of Puppetry, UK and Ruhrtriennale Festival Bochum, Germany.

A unique mash up of hip-hop, theatre and puppetry bringing together 4 amazing artists: beat-boxer Hobbit, b-boy LoGisTics, singer/rapper Elektric, and puppeteer Mohsen to form The Broke ‘N’ Beat Collective.

“Sometimes when I can’t stand on my own two feet / Or the voices in my head feel cracked and incomplete / I turn up the volume of my Broken Beats / The Big Heavy Bass sends moves flowing to my feet / Melodic rhymes fill my head and make me feel oh-so-sweet / Cos my Broken Beats help me feel alive / And not so Broke and Beat.”

Come and spend an evening with the Collective; a raw, gritty, funny and moving gig that explores the hardships faced by young people in the UK today.

Gripping tales, transfixing poetry and hip-hop puppetry like you’ve never seen before.

A 20 Stories High and Theatre-Rites co-production.

Suitable for ages 13+
