A story from the West African Ananse mythos, this production concerns Nyame the sky god, who owns all the stories in the world, and gives Ananse the chance to earn the right to tell them to the people if he passes three challenging tests.
Ananse is only successful with the help of his wife Aso.
The performance features a hip-hop influenced libretto and soundtrack.
“Kwaku Ananse, the spider man, he loved to talk, he loved to hear and tell stories. And he wanted to own all the stories in the world, so he could share them with all of you, his friends.”
GREAT FOR ALL AGES. RESERVATIONS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. CALL 313-961-7777.
