Song Of Riots

This is a story for you, my son
A song for you to learn to sing
The story of kingdoms lost then won
And here is where we must begin

Two boys. A prince from a fairy tale - the only child of a King and a Queen. A kid from the inner city - the only son of Polish immigrants. Both boys need to leave home. Both are out in the night. Both are looking to find golden opportunities. When they meet, a riot breaks out.

With woods, wildmen, the fairytale Iron Hans and the words of William Blake, Song of Riots explores how boys cross the bridge from childhood to maturity and what happens if they fail to make that journey.Who are these wild boys, running loose in our cities and on our streets? And is there a kingdom left for them to inherit?

This dynamic, physical piece is acted, danced, spoken and sung by an international cast including four members of the Polish company Song of the Goat.
