Creative Riot celebrated diverse talent from of young creatives and performers from North Edinburgh. Powerful stories were told through parkour, dance, spoken work and music. Here, voices that are often overlooked were given a platform to speak up and be heard.

Taking place in the then recently reopened Leith Theatre, an abandoned 1930’s cultural institution, the production took advantage of the fraying character of this forgotten space.

Spots of light and dispersed platforms dismantled the barrier between audience and performance space, functioning as seating and stage sets amongst found props.
