Tyi Wara - a theatrical storytelling production for aged 8 +

We are very excited to announce that following our AGM on Saturday 19th May, as part of African Liberation Week, Toto Tales will perform their theatrical storytelling production Tyi Wara.

Tyi Wara is a mythical hero, who descends to the earth to

reveal the secrets of environmentalism: how to prepare the

land, how to ensure everybody works together and how to

pass the secrets of agriculture on through generations.

In a unique fusion of physical storytelling, contemporary

dance and live music, Tyi Wara (pronounced Tee Wara) is the

latest production in a long line of award-winning shows by

Edinburgh’s premier theatre company of African origin, Toto

Tales.

Through the compelling use of live traditional African

instruments like the kora, drum and balafon, Toto Tales

weaves traditional storytelling with African contemporary

styles to create an energetic and vibrant theatrical experience

that explores the issues of social collaboration, the importance

of work and respect for the earth.

Tyi Wara starts at 7pm on Saturday 19th May at the African Caribbean Centre, 66 Osborne Street, Glasgow, G1 5QH. All welcome and it's free entry.
