About the event
We'll be premiering our full-length play ‘Arawelo’ in partnership with London Somali Week Festival and supported by exciting musical acts.
‘ARAWELO’ is a new play which uses traditional story-telling techniques to make the ancient Somali legend relevant to a contemporary audience. She is a highly controversial figure in the Somali tradition in terms of female identity and empowerment. She is said to have founded and implemental a matriarchal society in ancient Somali territories and to have acted brutally to any man that challenged her.
