What show will you help to create during the Yorkshire Summer Camp?
The Dark Dark (Director: Ellis Kerkhoven, Musical Director: Sonum Batra, Choreographer TBC)
A coming of age story, we follow Kaya and Maya Fon, separated twins, as they battle to survive in their war-torn land. As renegades gather to overthrow the tyrant Meepsie King, Kaya, our protagonist, races against others of-age in ‘The Great Catch’ - a right of passage event that tests their new found ‘gifts’. Maya, a market-thief, gets seized to become the latest sacrifice to please the Gods. Meanwhile ’The dark dark’, a lurking black cloud circles above, threatening to consume everyone and everything. Is the land doomed, or can someone step up and be brave enough to uncover and defeat ‘The dark dark’?
