Zygote

Brought to you by the award winning team that produced SOLD and CLASH, this 60 minute multi-media dance performance provides an astute and fascinating reflection of teenage explorations and dilemmas, incorporating fast-moving film imagery with driving, original music and ingenious choreograph.

From the cold clinical confusion of the biology lesson to the throbbing heartfelt emotion of the 'teen mag', fantasy is offset against the harsh reality of adolescent relationships, unplanned pregnancy, decision-making and being a young parent. From giant babies, bottles and screams, to rites of passage and daring to be different. Britain has the highest teenage pregnancy rate in Europe - why?
