1970s London, the streets awash with a fever of political unrest and the rhythm of the sound system culture is birthing a new era of soulful lover’s rock and reggae.
As tensions rise, the community rallies together to stand against injustices and racial divide. Amongst it all two sisters are divided by grief and radical politics, motivated by love but will their fight for the community be worth the damage to their sisterhood?
From the writer and composer Urielle Klein-Mekongo, BLACK POWER DESK is a musical soundtrack charting a fiercely emotive and politically charged era of British history. Inspired by the historic Mangrove Nine and other influential activists and brought to life by an original score performed by a live three-piece band.
Premiering at Brixton House, London, 1 – 28 September 2025.
