Busking It Aldeburgh
Coin Drop in association with HighTide and Shoreditch Town Hall present
Busking It by Danusia Samal
“If I don’t know you and you don’t know me, then you’re free in your anonymity”
Stop your commute: music is a powerful thing, it’s amazing what you hear when you stop and listen.
Busking wasn’t Danusia’s first choice of job as a teenager, but a decade of singing to strangers has taught her to see the city anew. She takes us on an autobiographical journey through the London Underground, blending theatre, spoken word, original music and soul covers, with influences including Nina Simone, Sam Cook and Amy Winehouse.
An optimistic show about how, amidst the loneliness of the city, music might help us make change come.
Written and performed by Danusia Samal (RSC, Royal Court, Soho Theatre, Ghost In The Shell), with music by Adam Cross and Joe Archer (RSC).
Busking It is produced by Emma Shaw and directed by Guy Jones (Mayfly, The Winters Tale, Orange Tree; Spokesong, Finborough).
