An honest, funny and heartfelt journey through the trials and tribulations of living with dyslexia and seeing things differently.
Little Murmur is a dance theatre show based on the true story of a child who one day realises they have been misspelling their own name. Defined by his learning difficulties, not his abilities, dance became Aakash’s mode of expression.
Featuring an extraordinary soundscape, groundbreaking projection, and a blizzard of paper and confetti, Little Murmur is about discovery, facing challenges and overcoming the odds. Watch bodies and words fly like flocks of birds, a murmuration, a little murmur.

‘the sheer authority and brilliance of the show’s movement and dance, and the superb animated sequences which accompany it ... strike a profound chord.’
