Dizzy is a fantastical adventure exploring memory and mortality, graffiti and grief, and finding meaning amidst the chaos
Desperate for answers following her brother’s death, 15-year-old Qamar meets Stax, infamous graffiti artist and her brother’s mentor. Under Stax’s guidance, she dives into the underground world of street art and discovers the dream-like otherworld known as the Axis. Here, memory and imagination begin to merge, and Qamar starts to wonder whether some things simply don’t have an answer.
Based on conversations with young people across the UK and written by Olivier-nominated Mohamed-Zain Dada (Blue Mist, Royal Court), Dizzy was commissioned by Theatre Centre and was a co-production between Theatre Centre and Sheffield Theatres in 2024.
