Set during the Mau Mau uprising in 1950s Kenya and the ensuing bloody State of Emergency, two boys' lives are changed forever as their friendship and loyalty are blown apart by fear and betrayal. Drawing on African music and movement styles, combined with a powerful mix of text and physical story-telling theatre, Burn my Heart is a fast-paced, devastating, and highly relevant story.
