BLKDOG, a poignant hip hop dance theatre production, encourages us to be tamers of our memories and our personal and collective trauma in an ultimate quest for acceptance and peace. Both of-the-moment and timeless, the work transcends cultural barriers to inspire universal dialogue.
BLKDOG is the first hip hop show ever to win the prestigious Olivier Award. Its resonance with audiences of different backgrounds is a testament to its exceptional artistry and universally relevant themes.
