Irish Premiere.

Prepare to be amazed by the explosive tricks and artful dexterity of Simple Cypher’s newest outdoor production. Three performers blur the boundaries between hip hop and circus through a series of captivating and playful interactions challenging identity, status, and societal roles.

A folding bench is the meeting point for three strangers from different walks of life: a park bench, a bus stop, a waiting room. Divisions between class, race, and education are shattered as the characters go on a journey of building trust, lending support, and discovering connections between one another – focusing on their similarities, not their differences.

Building on Simple Cypher’s recognisable fusion of circus and hip hop, Roll Play features breath-taking Cyr wheel, dextrous group juggling and feel-good choreographies performed to a pulsing urban soundtrack.
