Adulawo on stage at UNILAG

Arrangements have been concluded to show Adulawo (The Black Race) at the University of Lagos on April 22.
A dance-theatre piece which portrays the challenges, day to day activities, occupation, culture/tradition, and general way of life of the black people,  the play uses Nigeria as its focus point.
Written and directed by Joshua Alabi, it is the production of  KiNiNso-Koncepts, an art ensemble/dance-theatre company that aims at making a statement of relevance “with a deep root in research-making into our culture and tradition towards innovating a creatively different performance style and a story-telling technique that will not only entertain, inform and educate, but challenge our audience, ourselves as human towards nation-building and the need for intellectual, physical, social and cultural development.”
Adulawo is said to be a total theatre piece with an infusion of poetry, dance, drama, drums, chants and songs to create an excitingly new but contemporary performance art which would be acceptable by global audience of different age groups.  It will be staged at the UNILAG Main Auditorium.
