Fatherhood
A highly physical and laugh out loud take on fatherhood across generations, cultures and languages.
Being a father in the 21st century is complicated, especially when you’re the father of a son of mixed heritage. Shane Shambhu shares his own experiences of being and having a dad in his Keralan, Turkish and Austrian family, interwoven with stories of other lives making their way in a changing world.
Fatherhood blends physical theatre, sharply written text, and South Indian dance to create a hilarious, moving and inspiring experience.
All performances include integrated captions.
Post show activity includes an interactive talk with South-Indian and Turkish nibbles.
This performance is brought to Highlights through the Rural Touring Dance Initiative.
‘Puts the challenges of modern parenting and complexities of the migrant experience in the spotlight it

‘Phenomenally evocative... there aren’t enough words to describe how important these stories are to
tell.’ - Jackstage Blog
