WALLEN is an experience that combines thrilling and charismatic music performance with elements of music theatre. The show will involve an endless stream of music, taking the audience on a journey following lives of Byron and Errollyn Wallen to Belize, to London, and to New York; crucial places in their personal and professional lives; where both had to re-define and challenge notions of belonging, distance, and boundaries.-- "step with imagination beyond edge of the cliff, with surety you will grow your wings"
