An Afrobeat gig theatre experience inspired by the music and legacy of Ebo Taylor

About

An Afrobeat gig theatre experience inspired by the music and legacy of Ebo Taylor.

Inspired by the music and influence of Ebo Taylor, The Torch is a charged gig-theatre experience where Afrobeat, hip-hop and rap meet live storytelling and DJ-led sound. 

The cast slip between band and character, building a world that moves with the beat — playful one moment, raw the next. At its core is a story of identity, pressure and self-discovery, tracing the journey from expectation to independence. 

A show that pulses with energy and asks what it means to carry the torch — and when to break from it.
