The classic story of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is injected with a large dose of hip hop energy by Bounce, an exciting company known for creating high energy, imaginative street-dance theatre.

In the confines of a psychiatric hospital, breakdance becomes a way of expressing freedom and rebelling against the iron rule of Nurse Ratched – who happens to be a ballet fan...   The show features a fantastic soundtrack including hits from stars like Missy Elliot, Dizzee Rascal, Gotan Project, David Holmes and Cypress Hill. 

Inventive set design (including bungee-jumping breakdancers), film and choreography are mixed to produce a fast-paced show that is at times funny, at times moving, and always packed to the rafters with high-octane dance moves. 

Based on the play by Dale Wasserman and the novel by Ken Kesey.

Contains adult themes and some violence. Parental discretion advised.  

"Insane in the Brain makes Ken Kesey's classic story seem designed for a hip-hop makeover. Hip-hop's skewed poses, crazy angles and zombie walks lend themselves to the subject; but Bounce transform the style into real theatre" **** The Guardian
