Feb Fest: Crescendorious presents: Kids to the Front

An interactive, inclusive, live band experience designed for all 0-7 year olds and their families.

Discover the new spirit of punk: punk with empathy! Acclaimed theatre-makers Brigitte Aphrodite and Quiet Boy present their electrifying gig-theatre show, designed for libraries, schools, community centres and theatres, co-created with the children of your hometown. Directed and co-written by Lucy Thackeray (Doctor Who, Marvel’s Moon Knight, Jurassic World: Rebirth).

Whilst on their tour across the universe, the aliens of The Boogie Woogie Space Junk Band crash-land in your hometown! They’re keen to discover where they are and to find their trusty supersonic space pig, Brian. Only the kids have the energy, uniqueness & magic to propel the Space Junk Band’s debut electro-punk album into the stratosphere!

Originally commissioned and co-produced by The Spark Arts for Children as ‘Les-tah to the Front’ for the city of Leicester, this gig-theatre experience engages and co-creates with children in their own hometown to create an entirely new show every time it’s performed. The show’s themes and songs are adapted to wherever the aliens in The Boogie Woogie Space Junk Band land.
