As part of You Say You Want a Revolution, Friends For All is an interactive spoken word performance for families held at the V&A. Kids are invited to think about the themes of revolution, protest and social change in the late 1960s through the mediums of rap, dance and far-out video projections.
The show has been created by acclaimed spoken word poet Simon Mole and director Peader Kirk, and promises to make the exhibition tangible for young minds.
At only 40 minutes, the show will tell the story of 8 year old Lexi, who has trouble making friends. This cool, quirky story follows Lexi as she takes inspiration from her ex-hippy Grandad and fights against the powers that be (her teachers and bullies) to rebel against the oppressive school uniform system and find herself.
There will be a BSL interpretation on Thursday 27th October supported by the Lord Leonard and Lady Estelle Wolfson Foundation.
