Sunny Side
SUNNY I SIDE is the e story of K, a 19 is year old boy From a small northen town, who is struggling with his mental health.
It is performed by 3 dancers and has a run time of 90 minutes.
K is struggling. At 18, he’s living in a world where everyone is rushing full-steam ahead but himself. He’s trapped in a small English Everytown; a selfproclaimed ‘rain-soaked paradise’ in the bottom of a Yorkshire valley. A town of two sides: old versus new, indigenous versus gentrified. And yet there's still nowhere that seems to fit K.
In a last attempt to understand and reconnect, he revisits the pivotal moments of his life but is left paralysed at the prospect of a future where his voice can’t be heard.
Where do young men stand in a world that seems to have no place for them?
