BLANKET
“You’ll always see yourself clearly in me, cause im a perfect reflection of your soul.”
Mapping Brent
Blanket was a part of the Mapping Brent project organised by Kiln Theatre in London.
Mapping Brent saw Kiln Theatre’s 6 young companies worked between September- April
devising, writing and rehearsing plays alongside industry professionals, which were
performed as part of a 9 day festival during the Easter break. Blanket was developed
with Press Road Young Company (Group 2).
Synopsis
Amidst a lively festival of youth based theatre, a huge cast of local children and
teenagers brought to life this rhythmical and brave performance. Using philosophy,
spoken word and dance, Blanket became a testament to the wisdom and innovation of
young people by giving them a platform and creative environment to have their social,
political and spiritual views acknowledged.
