Description

A powerful one-man show exploring migration, identity and belonging through the vibrant lens of West African storytelling.

Follow Mokan’s funny and moving pursuit of “the Nigerian Dream,” confronting the physical and emotional challenges of migration that many experience but rarely voice.

Blending live drumming, music, dance and interactive storytelling, this 70-minute performance celebrates hope, resilience and the search for home with humour and heart. Written and performed by Oldham-based Nigerian artist Oluwasegun Lafup Ogundipe, and directed by Mojisola Kareem.

Written & performed by: Oluwasegun Lafup Ogundipe, Oldham-based, Nigerian-born writer, comedian, actor and theatre-maker

Directed by: Mojisola Kareem (Utopia Theatre)
