Native Wit:
A spirit of playfulness, love and joy is conjured by Ayodele and David. This piece stitches together fragments of their African childhoods to create a dazzling patchwork, rich in surprises.
Award winning and multi-disciplinary, these performers blend decades of experience to combine drumming, dance, singing and clowning with physical theatre.
Each proceeding scene is randomly drawn by an audience member from a market trader’s basket to create a theatre experience unique to every performance.
‘Agbo play’ from Sierra Leone playfully engages everyone as creative participants through chanting, singing, clapping and laughter.
Ayodele Scott and David Evans blend drumming, song and physical theatre to present an hilarious, humane and ultimately life-affirming exploration of their childhood experiences of colonial West Africa.
This a family show and perfect for Year 5&6 Primary School Children and early years secondary.
