Three friends, three parts of the night set across three years, and the albums that guide them through the journey.
Set to noughties’ hip hop, funk, and R&B classic tunes, DONUTS follows one night separated over several years in the life of a group of friends: how music connects them, feeds their friendship and their need to dance, until it becomes almost like a collective state of trance.
A stunning reminder of the joy to be found in watching great dancing to intoxicating music.
DONUTS is co-produced by The Place, co-commissioned by Warwick Arts Centre and Dance Xchange and will tour from October 2021.
