“★★★★”
A brand new SHOW BY ACCLAIMED dance theatre COMPANY NORTHERN rascals
shed
SHED is a powerful contemporary dance-theatre production from Northern Rascals. Performed inside an intimate, pop-up set that feels like peering into someone’s flat, SHED offers a raw, authentic, and uplifting experience. Featuring three short stories:
Sunny Side
A poignant exploration of adolescence and identity, Sunny Side follows K as he navigates a world on pause, grappling with a loss of emotional and physical connection. Caught between past, present, and future, K’s journey reflects the struggle to make sense of life’s changes.
A Small Life Just Like Mine
A modern day love story. A Small Life Just Like Mine tells the tender story of two lovers navigating the seasons of their relationship. Amidst the mundane and messy realities of partnership, the beauty of connection shines through.
Blackcurrant Lips
At the end of a night overshadowed by threat, two friends reflect on female safety, power, and the realities of being a young woman today.
Northern Rascals bring a fresh perspective to dance-theatre; a portrait of love and loss and the essential humanity that resides in us all.
