This rock-drama inspired by the true events of teenage runaways and street kids combines live theatre, rock music, urban vibes, video, and street style dance. Michael Justen adapted their stories from journal entries, interviews and documentaries. Members of the production team and cast spent time on the streets without food or money with actual street kids to gather true stories for the production. Fantasies, drugs and music provide a canvas for the characters, making the music saturated with dreams, fear, passion--and hope for a better future.
