'Mulatto Boy'

‘In a cleansing ritual, we are offered an introduction to the rich and fertile land of Angola. It is painted in vivid colours but this romantic image is tempered with violence and corruption.’
​
‘As a piece of theatre, Mulatto Boy is both powerful and imaginative.’

'Huvi f***ing loves tea, Sophie and his boys! Unfortunately when he applies for his British Passport, so he and Sophie can get married in her dream location abroad, he discovers he was never legally registered at birth.


Mulatto Boy is a funny, bold, spoken word inspired show exploring the link between Black mixed – race identity and British national identity and how the two reflect and affect each other. A gut – wrenching ride told through West African theatrical practices and Angolan language, music, dance & traditions. Mulatto Boy asks us, what is it to be Black, Mixed Race and British and who gets to decide what we are?'
