"A show is momentary, an experience is something you take away with you for the rest of your life" - Kwame Asafo-Adjei Creator of Family Honour
from The Black & Raww Podcast · host Tinokuda Bvunzawabaya
Join Kwame Asafo-Adjei and I in discussing his project called Family Honour. Family Honour is a raw exploration of family and personal trauma, putting audiences in the front seat for tense, honest confrontations that go generations deep. Kwame Asafo-Adjei is a dance artist who fuses his hip hop training with contemporary dance and his Ghanaian background, often exploring the development of Black culture, themes of tension and release are ever-present in his provocative work. We talk about his creative process in developing family honour, he discusses his upbringing and his experience of being sent back to Ghana. We also touch on leadership, African culture and parents, ego and self-reflection. Family Honour plays at Sadler Well's Theatre in Angel (London) on the 14/15th of September.
