Get ready for an electrifying hip-hop dance theatre performance for all ages in Leicester’s city centre.
Scrum is set in the near future, and dance is a crime. We should have seen it coming. We spent the first two decades of the new millennium gripped by fear.
You will be immersed in a riotous protest as a rabble of young digital natives confront a powerful regime. Will they rebel or conform? Live performance overlaps virtual reality!
