Is a comic yet deeply symbolic play that dramatizes the tension between tradition and modernity in postcolonial Africa, using satire, dance, and Yoruba oral traditions to highlight cultural identity. The play is one of the most performed African dramas worldwide, (songs, mime, dance) with modern theatrical techniques.
