Dreamscape

An electrifying fusion of beatboxing, rap and hip-hop dance

Starting Tuesday, 28 July 2026

About the Show

Inspired by the shocking true story of the shooting of Tyisha Miller, this electrifying fusion of beatboxing, rap and hip-hop dance reimagines her final living moments.

In 1998, 19-year-old Black woman Tyisha Miller was shot dead by four California police officers while she lay unconscious in a car. In Dreamscape, the violence of her death is juxtaposed with lyrical and joyous remembrance of her life. As each of her twelve bullet wounds is described by a Coroner’s report in cold clinical detail, Tyisha’s life bursts into vivid detail on stage – from the joy of dancing and softball to first kisses and hair styling.

Widely acclaimed for its clear-eyed look at the relationship between race, the body and violence, the show drew rave reviews at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2025, won a Fringe Theatre Award, and was named one of The Stage’s Best Shows To See and in The Scotsman’s Top 5 Shows. After a critically-acclaimed run in New York and receiving ★★★★★ from The Guardian earlier this year, the show now returns to London.
