A bruk down journey through space and time fuelled by love, fear and Afro-futurism. Keisha communicates with her reclusive dad through books, letters and symbols. But when the letters stop coming she is forced to venture into his world. This truth-infused narrative sees the protagonist follow a trail of breadcrumbs that lead her to a number of checkpoints: cultural displacement, religious confusion, political paranoia, misplaced masculinity and more.   Post-show chaired by Dr Edge  Dr Edge is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Manchester.
