LNOF 2026: Our Eyes Looking for God
Theatre, Leeds School of Arts, Leeds, LS1 3BP
Saturday 7th November 2026
An opera. A ghost story. A love story. Black boy joy and Black boy nightmares. Cousins Adjani and Kamal are driving to a party on Adjani's last night in Toxteth. They laugh, tell stories, clash, dream, and wonder what the future will bring. Two ordinary boys with extraordinary souls, on an ordinary night out that will resonate across history. Our Eyes Looking for God combines the unique talents of writer/director TD Moyo, composer Renell Shaw, librettist April Koyejo-Audiger, movement director Matheus Daniel, musical director Luke Bacchus and designer Amanda Mascarenhas to create a genre-mashing new opera that sings out the story of young lives rooted in British communities today.
*** Audio description will be available at both the 2pm and 7pm performances on Saturday 7 November.
You are very welcome to book a place on a 30-min touch tour which will happen one hour before each show on Saturday 7 November, at 1pm and 6pm. Our audio describer will bring you onto the stage where you can get a sense of the dimensions of the space, get up close to the set, and feel the props and costumes. We’ll have a member of the cast and/or creative team come and talk to the group and answer any questions you might have.
