Same Same .. But Different

The award-winning Sonia Sabri Company is delighted to be bringing SAME SAME .. BUT DIFFERENT, a show especially for young children and their families to Cheshire this summer holiday visiting Neston Library Thursday 5th August at 11am and Northwich Library 5th August at 3pm.

SAME SAME .. BUT DIFFERENT, originally commissioned by Birmingham Hippodrome and The Place with support from Birmingham Royal Ballet, is the company's first ever children's production which received its world premiere at the Hippodrome in 2019.

The show mixes Kathak and contemporary dance with live music, beat boxing and physical storytelling to create a playful, colourful world, exploring curiosities and fears, the times we feel different and when we belong.

SAME SAME .. BUT DIFFERENT is inspired by the well-known Anglo-Asian phrase 'same, same...but different', meaning "Yes, something kind of similar, but not the exact same thing".

SAME SAME .. BUT DIFFERENT has been made working in collaboration with a number of primary schools in Birmingham and London. The children's creative ideas and lived experiences of being different and belonging have been brought into the show.
In a world and time where there is 'fear of the different' the show celebrates diversity and inclusivity in its broadest sense.

A joyous and colourful live experience for children 5+ and their families.
