Toussaint To Move FREE
Play Trailer+ £4.00 building maintenance fee
A powerful journey celebrating resistance, rhythm, and the radical joy of freedom.
In a world confined by borders, flags and occupied lands.
Who dares to dream?
Who dares to break the cycles of oppression?
Who dares to be joyful in the darkest hour?
FREE embarks on a powerful quest for a place of no limitations on people’s way of life and way of being. You will be invited to sing: “take me to a place where I am free, leave the people dem so they can see.”
The dancers move to the Nyabinghi rhythms, vibrating their bodies. FREE combines the worlds of Reggae Dub Culture and Contemporary Dance to immerse audiences in the unwavering pursuit of freedom. Celebrating Reggae’s global injection that has ignited revolutions all over the world since the 1960s. An immersive performance accompanied by original music with strong reggae and hints of jazz influences written and performed by Buck and The Magnificence in the Reggae Dub style, interwoven with the storytelling nature of Toussaint To Move’s world.
FREE is co-commissioned by Sadler’s Wells, Transform and ARC Stockton (via The Make New Work Programme, supported by The Paul Hamlyn Foundation) and the development was funded via Arts Council England’s National Lottery Project Grants.
