It’s 1943, Nigeria, the king is dead, and tonight his Horseman must escort him to the Ancestors.
As Elesin dances through the marketplace, pursued by an entourage of drummers and women, he promises to honour the ancient Yoruba custom of ritual suicide and so accompany his ruler on the final journey.
An exciting Drum in-house production, based on a true story with Juice Aleem, Skibu, Fadare, to name a few, and a host of West African drummers and dancers on board helping YGB to develop the text and close our Autumn season in a blaze of light, sound and colour.
