ROLL PLAY

An uplifting, feel good performance for audiences of all ages.

Prepare to be amazed by the explosive tricks and artful dexterity of Simple Cypher’s newest outdoor production Roll Play. Three performers blur the boundaries between hip hop and circus, using intricate moves and virtuosic agility to give a captivating, cheeky and effortlessly cool performance.

A folding bench is the meeting point for three strangers from different walks of life; a park bench, a bus stop, a waiting room. What unfolds is a series of playful interactions challenging identity, status and societal roles. 

Building on Simple’s Cypher’s recognisable fusion of circus and hip hop, Roll Play features breath-taking Cyr wheel, dextrous group juggling and feel good choreographies performed to a pulsing urban soundtrack.

"A winning combination of hip hop, circus and comedy from Simple Cypher."

"Absolute highlight.. absolutely does what outdoor performance should do. Entertaining, accessible, while reflecting something back at us about how we all live our lives."

"Skill. Humour. Cool dancing. Gentle storytelling. This bunch know what they are doing. Loved it.”
