The journey of Yoruba culture, tradition and religion, as it moved
through slavery from West Africa to the Americas, is one of the most
powerful stories of exploitation, resistance and survival that has never
been told.
The Royal Court Theatre has been working with playwrights
from five countries where the Yoruban legacy has had great impact on
contemporary life: Tanya Barfield (US), Rotimi Babatunde (Nigeria), Marcos Barbosa (Brazil),
Yunior Garcia Aguilera (Cuba) and Gbolahan Obisesan
(UK).
