SLAM!
"SLAM!" is a dynamic musical exploring the world of graffiti through the eyes of Geo and Daisy, two passionate artists with contrasting styles. As they compete for the same wall space, their clash of egos escalates into a musical battle. However, a surprising twist leads them to collaborate, transcending their differences and celebrating the transformative power of art. Through vibrant performances and a powerful duet, "SLAM!" celebrates individual expression, artistic collaboration, and the ability of art to convey meaningful messages to the world.
