Photographer and performer Benji Reid’s Find Your Eyes comes to London’s new cultural heart in the Olympic Park at Sadler’s Wells East from Wednesday 5th – Saturday 7th June. Find Your Eyes taps into Reid’s work both as an award-winning photographer and hip hop theatre pioneer – bringing dancers and photography into the fold to create images in real time.

Drawing from the breadth of his life experiences, Reid explores vulnerability, tragedy and triumph through his photographer’s lens. He mixes Afro-futurist imagery with hard-hitting tales from his life and adventures, that unfold on the stage-turned-studio before the audience’s very eyes. Combining photography, choreography and theatre to create striking and surreal images, Benji Reid has coined the term of choreo-photolist to describe himself: a practice where theatricality, choreography and photography meet in a single or series of images.

His photography is a means to set up hyper-realities, conversations and to curate curiosities. Reid wants to move his generation to take a road less travelled.

The hit show he brings to Sadler’s Wells East, Find Your Eyes, was originally commissioned as part of Manchester International Festival 2023, before touring the world and returning to the city in May. It’s a look through the keyhole of Benji’s photography studio as he embarks audiences on an emotional rollercoaster where conflict meets beauty and opens up on some of the most moving episodes of his life. The show refers to abortion, medical emergencies, suicide, child neglect and addiction.

Benji Reid is an award-winning artist, a visionary creative director, photographer and performer. He has produced and performed over thirty works for international cultural institutions led by The National Theatre, Birmingham Rep, PS122 (New York) and Sydney Opera House. “Find Your Eyes” comes to Sadler’s Wells East between the 4th & 7th June.
