Samskara by Lanre Malaolu
An explosive fusion of text, physical theatre and hip-hop dance exploring vulnerability, emotional trauma and what it means to be a black man in twenty-first-century Britain.'Lanre Malaolu has a light touch on heavyweight subjectsHis sharp, naturalistic script switches between laugh-out-loud comedy, personal psychology and social comment to address black masculinity in the 21st century... powerful, moving, rich and straight-talking... Malaolu is a real talent, and Samskara deserves a wide audience'
* Guardian *'An outburst of a show... an achingly moving 90 minutes that questions whether Black men must be strong to be valued... Samskara feels current and raw... A triumph in its frank unpicking of the male psyche, it masters the experience of being an equally joyful and painful watch'
* The Stage *'Undulating between naturalistic dialogue, mesmerising physical storytelling, and genuinely laugh-out-loud moments... Samskara is at once a deliciously joyful and hard-hitting watch'
