IFE (A Nigerian Love Story) and 1968: The Year That Never Ended
A Nigerian married couple declare their love for each other, but the relationship is interrupted by the husband’s disappearance which causes his partner much heartache. The wife expresses her feelings through dance and the husband expresses his through rap. Ìfé means LOVE in the Yoruba language. This musical, full of humour and heart, fuses music, rap, song and dance to explore the themes of love, separation, forgiveness and hope. It’s a metaphor for the relationship between Africa and part of the African Diaspora.
1968: The Year That Never Ended - Renaissance one presents a poetry and music one-person show written by and starring Adisa that explores one of the most profound years of the 20th century - 1968 - and its relationship to now. With a theme of Revolution it explores the voices and movements of 68, drawing inspiration from the Folk, Reggae, Soul, Afrobeat and Pop music of the time. Adisa will explore the power of the collective voice and its effect on politics, religion, culture and artistic expression. With special guest musician Randolph Matthews.
