Krunch
Krunch
Funny, insightful and bursting with energy, Krunch reflects on what it means to be young, Black and British. Dynamic theatre combining spoken word and a live DJ.
**This production is now Sold Out**
Who are you? Where are you from?
From the colour of your skin to the size of your chin, nose, hair and even the clothes you wear.
What makes me, me? And what makes you, you?
A talented, 9 strong cast fly through topics from Facebook to freedom, surveillance, politics and X Factor. Their lyrics are thought-provoking and inspiring, their performances full of verve and energy.
Combining spoken word with krumping and a live set by DMC Supremacy champion DJ Matman, the results are fresh and explosive.
Krunch is a blast. Be there.
“The inspired incorporation of turntablist DJ Matman as the central visual image onstage, and source of the excellent sound track, gives the production a delightfully funky edge.”

The Albany Experience

Dig Deptford, our resident Youth Theatre and Talawa Theatre Company are working together to create a ten minute curtain raiser for Krunch. Seven young, emerging artists are working with professional theatre makers throughout February to develop their performance skills and create a short new piece of work inspired by the themes explored in Talawa’s show. Check out this new Young Company at the Albany.
The curtain raiser will take place at 7.30pm before the performance of Krunch on Friday 4 March. Free for Krunch ticket holders.
