Flow

Synopsis:
US spoken word/hip hop artist. Flow highlights the ties that bind contemporary hip hop culture to the ancient West African tradition of the griot, an elderly storyteller who serves as his tribe's memory and conscience. This ground of the play in ancient traditions and truths counterpoints the chaotic inner city setting of Flows protagonists, reminding us of the knowledge locked in age-old stories that we are in danger of losing if we stop listening.

Seven, The

Synopsis:
Cursed by their father, two inseparable brothers are forced to fight for the throne of thebes. But are they strong enough to avoid bloodshed on the city's streets and to take fate into their own hands? the Seven was a huge hit at the New York theatre Workshop in 2006. American spoken word artist Will Power creates a vibrant new version of Aeschylus's the Seven Amongst thebes - a story of a family at war and the arrival on the streets of gang warfarethe Seven fuses together rap, 1970's funk, R&B, gospel, the blues and choreography from the legendary Bill T Jones to produce a compelling, high-octane performance that speaks of gang warfare in American cities today.
