Several years ago, international beatbox star SK Shlomo (they/them) got sick. 10 years into a colourful career, they were acclaimed as a world-record holding beatboxer, a celebrated theatre maker and a well-respected collaborator with the likes of Björk, Gorillaz, Imogen Heap and Rudimental. They had become the first ever World Looping Champion, brought Ed Sheeran onstage as their guest at Glastonbury, been the first non-classical Artist in Residence at London’s Southbank Centre, and even been the subject of a feature film. But something had shifted. In the midst of a near suicidal depression, they stopped performing. SK spent almost two years off the road, recovering what felt lost. After a powerful comeback tour for debut album Surrender, a series of personal revelations changed the way that SK viewed themselves and their work. The result is BREATHE, an award-winning one-person show, alongside the upcoming second LP of the same name forming the show’s 90s rave soundtrack. BREATHE is deeply personal, exploring themes they have never previously shared in public about coming out as non-binary, being foreign, facing disability, suicide and, ultimately, the healing power of rave. Blending the energy of a festival with the storytelling of theatre in a distillation of their entire career, BREATHE opens with first single Wave, The Prodigy-esque ode to ADHD, and ends with an electric, neon-bright celebration, proving the power and joy in publicly being exactly who you are.
