Has the UK ever truly confronted its colonial past? 

RPM is an energetic and engaging show that combines theatre, circus, dance, and roller-skating to explore the question. Inspiring and entertaining, the work is created with the intention of educating and provoking thought and discussion. 

Using a mixture of news clips from the time, acrobatics, street dance, and circus, the performers take us from Windrush to modern day Britain on a giant treadmill to explore untold links between current issues and the UK's troubled history.
