The rap generation's views on 'The Troubles'

Smashing Times Theatre Company present 'Uprising' at the Droichead Arts Centre on Tuesday 25th March, 8pm. This play is presented as part of the Memory Project Tour to Northern Ireland and southern border county venues.

Uprising is a play about ‘The Troubles’ as seen through the eyes of the rap, hip-hop and dance generation. It juxtaposes stories from the past with contemporary music and rap in a cutting-edge, multi-disciplinary production fusing text, movement, pop-music, modern dance and the rapping of ancestral voices.

The performance will be followed by a post-show discussion with the artists and guest speaker Jim Arbuckle, Good Relations Facilitator.

The Memory Project is an innovative, ground breaking arts project using drama, storytelling events, theatre and a TV documentary to deal with the past history of conflict and to promote a peaceful and shared future for all. It is funded by the EU’s PEACE III Programme and managed by Special Programmes body.
