After sell-out runs of BLKDOG, Botis is back with his distinctive brand of hip hop theatre
Underlined with a resistance to change, a lone warrior journeys through time, with every step full of significance as they battle between hope and responsibility.
Warriors in feathered costumes form a wandering community as the stage becomes a pitiless testing ground. Can they deviate from the path a higher power has carved for them?
After the success of BLKDOG, East London raised Botis Seva and his company Far From The Norm cement their distinctive style of hip hop theatre, to a celestial soundtrack of percussion and guttural sounds.
