About Botis Seva | Far From The Norm | Sing Child Sing

Intimate. Moving. Transformative.

This new solo piece, performed by Botis Seva, Olivier Award-winning Artistic Director of Far From The Norm, asks: how do we protect ourselves as we learn from the past, without living forever in its shadow?

Sing Child Sing explores how we carry the past within our bodies and what it takes to loosen its hold. Rooted in autobiographical experience, Botis traces how abandonment, faith, and frustration become physically embedded, surfacing as both function and fracture.

An invitation to feel, to reckon, and to rise.

Set around a towering maze of weathered cabinets and hidden spaces etched with traces of childhood, Sing Child Sing is an unfiltered exploration of healing, identity, and the invisible legacies passed from one generation to the next.

As Botis merges his unique style of Hip Hop and Contemporary dance practices the performance conveys a portrait of a man suspended between memory and possibility, anatomically rebuilding himself as he loosens the patterns that have shaped him.

It is a courageous act of transformation, an invitation to feel, to reckon, and to rise.
