The good, the bad, and the ugly parts of the gamer community is highlighted as the duo sensitively address violence in video games alongside this captivating story.
Kunji Ikeda and Richard Lee team up for this original performances that combine narrative and dance. Audiences can expect the humour and sense of play they would expect from a fast-paced comedy, as well as the athletic and inventive physicality they’d see in a high-octane contemporary dance show.

-Stephen Hunt, Calgary Herald
“The dancing in the show is something to behold… 8Bit is an accessible, funny, engaging performance for everyone, not just the gamers”
