Tones - A Hip Hop Opera
“★★★★
Gerel Falconer is a master storyteller... Tones makes us laugh, it makes us feel, it makes us think. It takes themes that affect every one of us and infuses them with drama and humanity.””
A man in a battle with his identity, and on a journey through the depths of Black-British culture, class, and belonging. What happens if you're not black enough for the ends, but too black for the rest of the world?
Tones combining gritty underground sounds of Hip-Hop, Grime, Drill and the melodrama of Opera, to present a piece of gig theatre like no other, as Jerome, aka The Professor, navigates his way through a treacherous path to self-discovery.
An epoch-shattering leap forward for Wound Up, as for the first time, we invited a new writer to discuss seismic issues through groundbreaking, bold little pieces of theatre. We couldn’t have been more proud to have our friend Gerel Falconer, aka G, be that writer, in collaboration with Producer, engineer and sound designer, 3D Williams.
Tones can next be seen at the Brixton House Theatre, South London from the 4th - 15th February 2025.
