About the show
Champions is a performance by Himherandit Production at Pentland, exploring parent-child relationships, homophobia, grief, loneliness and personal resilience.

The result is a raw and moving portrait of identity, acceptance and healing. The show runs 40 minutes, age guidance is 16+, and tickets start from £10. Be aware the show contains nudity and references to grief and homophobia.
Why see this show?
