At 15, Sasha was called an art world prodigy. Celebrities wanted to buy his paintings. His first exhibition was going to make him a superstar.

But now he lives in a run-down flat, with his out-of-work boyfriend, and no one’s even heard of him…What went wrong?

An exhilarating and deeply moving one-man show about art, family, memory, and being haunted by the life we never lived.
