Melody Loses Her Mojo

By Keith Saha

I gotta keep hold of my Mojo
He keeps me bouncing
up and down like a yo-yo
When I'm on a low low
He makes me ho ho
Gets me flying out of black holes
like Chewbacca and Han Solo

Melody is in the care system and is out of control . . . the only thing that is constant in Melody's life is her toy monster, Mojo. Blessing has come from Nigeria to stay with an 'Aunty', but when the relationship breaks down, she is trapped in the care system and longs to be back with her Nana in Lagos. Rizla has just left the care system. He has been taken in by some older guys in the local hostel and has found his new 'family'.

Melody Loses Her Mojo is a bold, gritty and challenging story aimed at young people. It fuses Hip-hop theatre, dance, puppetry and street art to follow the amazing journeys of three remarkable young people, whose stories intertwine in a world full of magical and surreal moments.
