About
‘Life is honour. It ends when honour ends’
Set in Nigeria in the late 1940’s and based on a true story, Elesin, the king's horseman, is tasked with carrying out a sacred ritual upon the death of the king, however Elesin is overtaken by the allure of earthly desires.
A thought-provoking resonant theatrical experience showcasing music and dance, deeply rooted in the culture and spirituality of the Yoruba people.
Directed by Mojisola Kareem(Here’s What She Said to Me, Far Gone).
