A NEW MUSICAL BY THE WINNERS OF THE 2015 JONATHAN LARSON AWARD

THE BOY WHO DANCED ON AIR
is a modern-day love story set in rural Afghanistan. Paiman and Feda have spent their young lives as dancers in the world of bacha bazi, where wealthy men take in boys from poor families, train them to dance at parties, and often abuse them. 

The two boys’ chance meeting changes the course of their lives and sets them on a journey to find their independence in this musical fable about love, tradition, morality and the strength of the human spirit.
