Filmed as part of Urielle Klein-Mekongo's residency, as part of the Horizon Showcase 2021 programme, for this year’s Edinburgh Festival Fringe. 

TRASH is a show about the glamourized view of financial success that exists within social media and the levels people are willing to go to have it. TRASH explores what happens when appearances and friendships become a commodity.

How much skin is someone willing to reveal to get their rent covered?
Who gets to set the boundaries?
Who holds the power?
Who is more Trash, the married men who pursue these women or the women that use the opportunity to get further ahead?

TRASH is a dark, musical comedy taking the form of a crime caper, involving a score with elements of drill, grime, soul and commercial hip hop. This is the story of Faith and Kyla, two working-class black girls who through a reconnected childhood friendship, decide to join the expanding industry of sugar daddies, without fully understanding what it actually entails.

This is a co-production between China Plate & Tamasha
