Description

'You know them Northern Lights you only see in Iceland and Norway? When the particles hit the magnetic poles and BAM. That's what graff became to me. All these mad colours in the sky.'

Qamar is a fifteen-year-old maths genius who looks for patterns in everything. Desperate for answers following her brother's death, she meets Stax, an infamous graffiti artist and her brother's former mentor.

Under Stax's guidance, Qamar dives into the underground world of street art, and discovers the dream-like space known as the Axis. As she navigates her memories, she uncovers hidden layers of her brother's life and her own.

Based on conversations with young people across the UK, Mohamed-Zain Dada's play Dizzy is a fantastical adventure about finding meaning amidst the chaos. It was first produced by Theatre Centre in 2024, in a co-production with Sheffield Theatres where it opened before touring schools and theatres. This edition of the play also includes exclusive original material by renowned artist Cherry Bee.
