Part of The Camden Roar Festival (4 - 23 June 2024)
The 80s and 90s in Camden saw racial tensions and clashes between young Bengalis and British teenagers at a high. But amidst the chaos, hope emerged.
Bengali Boys is a work-in-progress sharing and panel discussion that explores the complex history of Camden. Using a blend of interviews, archival footage and a live performance, Bengali Boys shares the triumphs, struggles, and resilient spirit of this diverse community.
From the streets to the stage, this interactive sharing explores Camden’s past, present and future.
"Our children live in the most deprived ward in London and their parents cannot afford to pay for the classes and activities many more privileged children enjoy after school and at the weekends. A free-to-access youth group run by a local theatre in a professional setting is an incredible opportunity."
