The Architect
Deputy Stage Manager
Director: Matthew Xia
Conceived by Mojisola Adebayo, Roy Williams and Matthew Xia, and created with a collective of leading Black artists including Bola Agbaje, Dexter Flanders, Vanessa Macauley and XANA., The Architect asks how we create a blueprint for the future, three decades after a seismic event in British history.
This celebratory and stirring immersive theatrical experience, taking place on a London bus, explores the lives of Black Londoners, imagines the potential of uninterrupted Black lives, and the hopes, ambitions and dreams that accompany them through performance, sound design, music and spectacle.
