A powerful one-man performance tracing a young boy’s journey from innocence to survival.
If I invited you to come with me on a journey, a story, will you come with me?”
Northern Uganda. When Okumu’s village is attacked by the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA), he and his brother’s lives are changed forever. Inspired by Rwothomack’s own near experience of abduction by the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA), and told with humour, poetry and startling physical theatre, it explores how conflict reshapes identity, family and belonging. A must-see cultural and political piece of theatre that will strike straight at the heart.
‘This play is not about me, the kid who was lucky enough to escape. This play is for the hundred of thousands who did not. For the future generations who will continue to suffer the trauma the LRA has imprinted on them, for many years to come’ – John Rwothomack
