Chibundu Onuzo – 1991

Writer, musician and singer, Chibundu Onuzo tells the story of her life through narrative essays, music, song and dance. Born in 1991 in Lagos Nigeria, her twenty seven years span two military dictatorships, one internet revolution, two boarding schools, five grandmothers and a book deal, signed when she was nineteen. With a live band, a choir and a healthy dose of West African rhythm, come on this Nigerian odyssey in the world premiere performance of this newly commissioned work.
