The Torch

Nigel 'Kobby' Taylor (UK)

A high-energy fusion of theatre, live music and storytelling, The Torch brings together Afrobeat, hip-hop, rap and spoken word in a vibrant, beat-driven performance. Featuring live DJ decks, shimmering synths and a cast who switch seamlessly between musicians and characters, it’s a show bursting with energy and imagination.

With comedy, heartbreak and an uplifting story about finding where you belong, The Torch celebrates identity, legacy and the moment you discover your own light.

Supported by Without Walls and commissioned by Greenwich+Docklands International Festival, Freedom Festival, Certain Blacks, Stockton International Riverside Festival and Brighton Festival. Also by Middle Child Theatre and Hull Jazz.
