Show Details
Bounce's explosive hip hop version of Ken Kesey's classic novel and Dale Wasserman's play, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, is fast becoming a classic piece of hip hop theatre, transforming the dance form into real drama on an epic scale.
In the confines of a psychiatric hospital, breakdance becomes a way of expressing freedom and rebelling against the iron rule of Nurse Ratched - who happens to be a ballet fan...
"A bit bonkers and a bit brilliant" **** - GUARDIAN
"Fun, fresh" **** - THE TIMES
"Witty and inventive" **** - SUNDAY TELEGRAPH
"Superb... explosive entertainment. The performers are unstoppable" **** - DAILY EXPRESS
Using slick production techniques, spectacular sets and a brilliant soundtrack, Insane in the Brain brings the story of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest bang up to date, giving the well-known characters a refreshing new slant and infusing them with infectious hip hop attitude.
From bungee-jumping b-boys to krumping nurses, this is a fast-paced show that has all the elements of a great night out - great music (you'll recognise Missy Elliot, Dizzee Rascal, Gotan Project, Cypress Hill and many more), moments of pure comedy and plenty of high-octane dance energy.
