An intercultural dance project in the port cities of Marseilles and Liverpool. Commissioned by the Liverpool Culture Company, Sugar is a ground-breaking collaboration between dance, rap and graffiti artists from Liverpool and Marseilles merging their talents to create an urban story of contemporary street life. Sugar's unique dance fusion uses break-dance, contemporary dance and hip hop where echoes of the slave trade reverberate with every beat.
