Polarbear asks the questions: What happens when you take a risk? How wrong can it go?
A new storytelling performance from Polarbear about how the decisions we’re scared to make can come back to haunt us. And maybe even hunt us. On the back of his international hit Mouth Open Story Jump Out, Dark Corners follows a 13-year-old Polarbear over 24 fateful hours when he takes a risk that leads to a showdown with his future selves.
This is a show for the audience to play a part in, as much as being told a story. Set on a pristine set of white papers, the audience help to shape the fate of our young hero as things start to get messy, especially when he learns to follow his heart – often the messiest story of all. Using the skill of Polarbear, AKA Steven Camden, is one of the UK’s most respected spoken word artists and is the acclaimed young adult author of Tape and It’s About Love. It’s a performance that bridges genres of storytelling and puts the audience in the heart of the story. For young and older audience members who haven’t yet tried theatre, or think it’s not for them, this is a piece that might change their minds.
