Heart Beats Strong

Kickdrum • Semi-professional company

55 minutes•Bunker Two
An antidote to the crisis of masculinity we're having in our culture, but make it funny and dance-y and a little bit silly. It’s enough to make a grown man cry. Based on the performers' own teenage diary entries, lit cinematically with handheld lights and energised with bursts of dance, this is theatre at its rawest and most exciting. Three cultures. Three birthdays. Three soon-to-be men. And one night that'll change each of them forever.
