Details

Behind the Hood follows the story of two young boys as their lives are thrown together and they go on a personal journey of discovery about gangs, identity and youth culture. The devised piece uses the metaphor of an old tinned up Victorian terrace as a time portal which takes them on a surreal journey through both time and space. It takes them on a voyage through the history of Liverpool's gangs, cultures and youth culture. The piece questions not only their own perceptions but also those of the media and challenges the audience to look at our young people through a new set of eyes! This projected has been developed working in partnership with NML (National Museums of Liverpool), LHT, Youth Opportunities Fund, LCVS, Granada Foundation and the Home Office.
