Performed for the first time at the iconic O2 Academy Brixton, Political Mother: The Choreographer’s Cut is a dance show like no other. With the atmosphere of a rock gig and 40 dancers and musicians on stage, this big hit show has wowed audiences from Paris to Hong Kong and now comes home to London for one last time.
