adaku, part 2

Legacy, ritual, and repair... The adaku trilogy is a powerful mythology about how one family in precolonial West Africa becomes entangled in the transatlantic slave trade. Set in a near-future United States, adaku, part 2 follows a young woman who receives sudden downloads of long-forgotten ancestral history.  What are the multitude of futures she can now imagine? Using text, sound, song, movement and spatial design, Sweat Variant’s adaku, part 2 transcends the conventional theater experience.
