Redcat presents adaku, part 1: the road opens featuring Okwui Okpokwasili runs Thursday through Saturday May 25, 27, 2023 at 8:30pm. Admission is $25.00 per person.

 

Okwui Okpokwasili’s new theater piece centers around a young African American girl who loses all of her hair after using a chemical straightener, only to have it restored by the power of a mysterious, unhoused woman. The young girl’s hair comes back with properties that restore genetic and cultural memory and allow her to discover her family’s precolonial past. A work that centers around the complexity of repair, physical and psychic, that will require traveling to the past and into the future.

Admission $25.00; CLICK HERE for more info.
