CandyBomber brings FRAY to London, an all new and inventive dance theatre experience that weaves a moving story about two deeply bonded brothers through a vibrant tapestry of original music, world-class hip hop dance, voice and large screen visuals that bring to life the dazzling video game adventures that light up the brothers’ sparse world and capture their hearts and imaginations.
When the brothers discover hip hop in their teens, a captivating real world of friends, dancing and competitive success calls, matching the allure of their brotherly passion for games. But real life isn’t a game and dark forces loom that draw them apart. Tullio finds himself in a real life quest in which there is no super powered “game controller” for real people, and steering his older brother away from the perilous influences that attract him can’t be programmed into a computer. Tullio must dig deep to discover another sort of power within himself mighty enough to turn fear into hope for them both.
