There's A Monster Behind My Back is a short comic from Far From The Norm dance artist Shangomola Edunjobi, inspired by Botis Seva's Olivier award winning Hip Hop dance theatre work BLKDOG.
In March 2019, the COVID-19 pandemic obliterated BLKDOG's first UK tour and eventually brought the arts and cultural sector to a standstill. In an effort to support its team, Far From The Norm asked its artists to respond to BLKDOG; Shangomola created an evocative 8 page comic.
