Y is for You Are Here @ Southbank Centre LATE
**Join us at* 'You Are Here' at the Southbank Centre*, an epic, one-off, pop-culture spectacular that invites you on an electrifying journey through 75 years of British music, dance, theatre, fashion and film.**
Follow the performance as it unfolds around you in an on-the-move theatrical journey where every corner holds a new story.
This is a freewheeling journey of discovery that traces through-lines across decades, remixing and reimagining some of the most vivid and influential youth and social movements that have driven culture forward since 1951.
Rebellion meets euphoria as a cast of hundreds take you on a trip through punk, grime, northern soul, acid house, dancehall and disco โ from the swaying of a tea dance to the beating heart of a superclub. Astonishing performers bring the energy of resistance, freedom and creation to every moment.
Marking the centrepiece of the Southbank Centreโs 75th anniversary celebrations, *You Are Here* is an exhilarating, full-throated celebration of cultural life that asks where weโve been, where weโre at and how weโll choose to shape where we want to go next.
Created by Danny Boyle, Gareth Pugh, Carson McColl, Sabrina Mahfouz and Paulette Randall.
