Figure

Part of Get Shorty

Created by Lanre Malaolu

Figure is an award-winning experimental dance film about boys growing up without fathers. It explores how early detachment from a father figure affects emotional growth and engagement with the world.

Through a dynamic fusion of physical theatre and hip-hop dance, Figure follows two young men as they search for answers both outside and inside themselves.
