About

K is struggling. 

At 18, he’s living in a world where everyone is rushing full-steam ahead but himself. He’s trapped in a small English Everytown; a self-proclaimed ‘rain-soaked paradise’ in the bottom of a Yorkshire valley. A town of two sides: old versus new, indigenous versus gentrified. And yet there's still nowhere that seems to fit K. 

In a last attempt to understand and reconnect, he revisits the pivotal moments of his life but is left paralysed at the prospect of a future where his voice can’t be heard.

Where do young men stand in a world that seems to have no place for them? 

Sunny Side is a raw and powerful portrayal of the modern young male experience, touring in partnership with Andy's Man Club and informed by the voices of over 750 young people across the UK. Combining contemporary dance, theatre, and spoken word, this socially urgent work from Northern Rascals explores the pain and loneliness that shape the journey from adolescence to adulthood.

★★★★
‘It’s rare in dance to find a setup that looks real, but Yorkshire-based Northern Rascals deal in slices of reality and everyday truths.’
The Guardian

★★★★ 'Emotive and moving.' West End Best Friend

'Timely... places young people front and centre.' The Stage

'“Like peeping through a key-hole into someone else’s world. As characters grapple with their own journeys and relationships, vulnerabilities are shared and souls are bared, resulting in a work that is powerful and poetic” Dance Art Journal

Sunny Side explores sensitive and potentially distressing topics related to mental health, loneliness and societal pressures faced by young people.

Haze and flashing lights.
