As a child, dancer and choreographer Chris Fonseca lost his hearing when he contracted meningitis. For a long time as a black deaf child growing up, he felt his difference keenly. Then he discovered music and dance. This hip-hop gig theatre show comes fully BSL integrated and tells Fonseca’s story as it celebrates identity, dance, music and being yourself in a world that tries to exclude you.
