Our Plays

This Play will redefine theatre, opening it up to further interest by global markets. It has been designed to throw up the Bini Culture in such a way that it would leave audiences gasping in a futile effort to catch its breath.

Emotan will play very expertly with some of the most ingenious dialogue mixing it with super creative costuming and niche sound to drop an orgy of theatrical experience.

It will take the highly revered story of EMOTAN to a strong pedestal deepening its immortality and with sweetly choreographed song and dance sequence that would lift the story to dizzying heights of ecstasy and finally dropping it into a trough of tragic consequences designed to leave the audience with the essence of her being and what she represents not only to the Bini culture but to Africa.

This is a play that has been designed to forge a powerful connection between the rich colourful culture of Isale Eko and the enigmatic culture of the Efik. It will once again open up the rich flow of the Isale Eko people in a powerful display of song and dance routine never before seen on Nigeria stage while telling the story of Oba Eshugbayi who in a tale of intrigue, rich drama and suspense gets exiled to Ibadan while still trying to comprehend early inter-ethnic marriage which will see his only daughter betrothed to the Efik.

Audiences would be transported to the scenic banks of the River Cross, literally tastes globally acknowledge dishes that make the Efik well known and witness the beautiful, exotic and sophisticated ‘virgin dance’’ of the Ekpe masquerade. We would be unearthing the masquerade in its purest form and dropping it on the Muson stage to the awe of the world, thereby transporting Nigerian theatre into stratospheric levels.
