Titled ‘It’s in the Blood’, the play is the result of an 18-month collaboration between Tete Adehyemma Dance Theatre (Ghana) and Cactus Junges Theater (Germany).
A prolific actress, Wiafe fills the stage with a mesmerizing blend of humour, dance, music and storytelling. A modern intermediary between cultures and continents, the actress takes the audience on a roller-coaster of a journey.
She touches on many issues of universal relevance and interest as she cleverly connects the dots from deeply personal life events to questions of migration.
She also ably tackles issues such as culture and national identity, individual and corporate greed and environmental challenges.
The audience is invited to ‘walk a mile in another person’s shoes’ and experience the transformative power of the arts when it comes to imagining and creating a world where “other-ness” and diversity are no longer feared but celebrated.
Other venues slated to host the performance in September are School of Performing Arts, University of Ghana (Legon - 7th / 8th); Haduwa Bamboo Theatre (Apam - 12th); Wesley Girls Senior High School (Kumasi - 16th / 17th) and Holy Cross Parish (Tamale - 19th / 20th).
The rest are Our Lady of Lourdes Cathedral (Yendi - 22nd / 23rd) and Goldfields School Complex (Tarkwa - 26th).
