Concept/Project Description
The Tovanti and the Dagolani tribes lived harmoniously until Greed and Selfishness reached its peak, resulting in a bloody riot. What then happens when the only language a disgruntled youth now speaks is that of Revenge?! Shall we follow Tumi and Adamu who were at the center of it all, as they journey us through the beginning of all that could be left of the once great kingdoms. This theatre project Titled " HANGRY YOUTH" directed by Rita Richardson is, an experimental narrative with music and dance, written by Rita Richardson and the multiple award-winning Nigerian filmmaker Jibril Mailafia. The play is to shed some light on the economic hardship in Africa, and the need to rise above social vices. It also addresses the issue of corruption, irresponsibility, and injustice which brings about conflicts and hardships hindering the development and progress of nations. The play is set somewhere in Africa, and simply is a plea for selfless leadership as well as unity among nations.
