About Fires Our Shoes Have Made
Multi-award-winning company, Pound of Flesh, presents an explosive piece of original gig theatre which gives a voice to the underestimated and misrepresented youth. Join 15-year-old Jay and 10-year-old Saskia on the biggest quest of their lives as they journey through a city like London. Today is the day they become the greats they are destined to be, running away from home and attempting to fend for themselves with nothing but dreams and a stolen blade. Pound of Flesh presents this journey of a lifetime as they return from the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and an award-winning run at NSDF. Featuring live, original music, Fires Our Shoes Have Made uses hip-hop-influenced spoken word to transport audiences to the world of this modern fable. Exploring the mental and physical struggle of loss, Fires Our Shoes Have Made sheds light on the unfortunate reality faced by many young people today.
