Confetti.

When four different worlds collide; identity, history and status become the driving forces to unveiling the biggest money laundering scandal in history.

From not having a box to tick to challenging toxic stereotypes; as Alejandra, Lucia, Honey and Catalina risk everything to expose a multinational bank, they confront the audience with what it means to be both Londoner and Latinx.

My Uncle Is Not Pablo Escobar is performed in English. English, Spanish and Portuguese surtitles are provided every night.
