About this Event
Remember "You are African first before anything” wise words from Chile’s mother.
This semi-autobiographical one woman show explores the complexities of the African mother-daughter bond. The protagonist, Chile, a British Nigerian woman in her mid-twenties is faced with a huge responsibility as the family’s first daughter. Her mother who is very traditional in her beliefs is concerned that since moving to England that her daughter is becoming whitewashed and wants to uphold her family by making sure her first daughter sets a good example. Among other topics, the drama explores feminism, marriage, and tradition. We are drawn into Chile's world through the use of monologues, voiceovers and music, as she attempts to get her mother to see her for the woman she is growing into
