Award-winning A Giant on the Bridge reveals the heartbeat within stories of prison-homecoming.
A powerful fusion of songwriting, Scottish hip-hop and immersive storytelling.
“Do you think cos I’ve been in the jail all I know is how to hurt people?”
Every year in Scotland thousands of people return home from prison to an uncertain future. A Giant on the Bridge reveals the intimate human experiences within this prison-homecoming journey, in a compelling narrative-gig which fuses acoustic songwriting, Scottish hip hop & original storytelling.
Five of Scotland’s leading contemporary musicians explore identity, family, community, systems, restoration, injustice – and the pulsing heartbeat within these hidden stories.
Unflinching, spellbinding gig-theatre featuring Louis Abbott (Admiral Fallow), Kim Grant (Raveloe), Dave Hook (Solareye, Stanley Odd), Jo Mango and Jill O’Sullivan.
