Anansi-How Stories Came to Earth - An African Folktale
Using the naturally percussive sounds from the elements of earth, this production of Anansi will feature a certain musicality. The characters enliven figurines and talismans of the Vodun religion, bringing a spiritual quality to this folktale.
The costume design will utilize puppetry resembling the style of marionettes as well as traditional African masks to keep the story grounded with wooden elements. A sense of mysticism will be brought in with the use of body painting and beaded jewelry. The actors will collaborate with their costume to bring new physicality to their characters while the material aids in an auditory sensory experience for the audience.
