Babul and the Blue Bear

Synopsis:
Babul and the Blue Bear is a fresh, anarchic and unique piece of theatre, bringing the worlds of hip-hop, mask, puppetry and street art together in a bold, dynamic and original way. The play explores cultural identity, divided loyalties, racial tension and a sense of belonging in a multi-cultural Britain. Working with the narrative and musical influences of local young people, 20 Stories High capture the imaginations of their audiences with bold renderings of contemporary tales.
