★★★★ ”Lo-fi, freewheeling and rather brilliant”

London Evening Standard

A show for everyone who has ever danced – in their kitchen, at a wedding, on a stage – and those that like to watch from the wings.

Can you remember every dance you’ve ever danced?

The people on stage in Wallflower are trying to remember every dance they’ve ever danced. Some are professional dancers, some are not. Some might tell you that they can’t dance at all.

Every dance is added to an ever-expanding archive. There are memories of dancing alone all night at a party; of racing with a dog across a beach; of dizzily spinning children; of weeping and dancing; what will be next?

Spanning a lifetime of music, fashion, politics, friendship, parties, love and loss, Wallflower is a show about how dancing shapes our life.

★★★★ “Enchanting…a magical experience”

Theaterkrant, Netherlands
