Shadow Boxing by James Gaddas

Shadow Boxing by James Gaddas is a gripping solo theatre work that dives into themes of masculinity, sexuality, identity and violence.

Set late at night, the story follows Flynn at a pivotal moment in his life, as he decides to reclaim the dignity and self-worth he feels have been taken from him. Through a raw and intimate performance, Naji Trad guides audiences through Flynn’s inner world — the battles he has fought, the pain he carries, and his journey towards embracing his identity as a gay man.

With a minimalist set and powerful physical storytelling, Shadow Boxing invites audiences into an emotionally charged space where vulnerability and violence collide, revealing the contradictions at the heart of what it means to be human.

This is confronting, moving theatre that stays with you long after the final moment.
