AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE The recently paroled Oshoosi Size finds an uneasy home with his older brother Ogun in the atmospheric bayou country of Louisiana. Ogun – straight living and hard working – feels both the enduring charge and lingering resentment of a lifelong duty to protect his permanently innocent younger brother. With the arrival of the charming and sinister Elegba, an ex-con with his own claims of brotherhood, a delicate stability is threatened and fraternal ties will be tested. Accompanied by live traditional West African music and a vibrant contemporary score fusing Soul, Hip-Hop, R&B and Dancehall, this production promises to be an uplifting, joyous celebration of life.
