Illusion of Truth Event

Description

How far would you go to achieve your heart’s desire? A powerful, heartbreaking search for the truth.

Enter a world where Gods feast, dance and wander through forests. Reaching into the pantheon of Orishas (Deities of Ifa), performance storyteller Mara Menzies explores our relationship with truth, intention and powerlessness wrapped in the thin cloak of power. How does society control its decision-making when exposed to so many alternative facts? A young man obsessed with joining the ranks of deities, seizes an opportunity to appease himself to the Gods.

This performance will be preceded by a short film focused on Orishas in Nigeria, Oya Rise of the Orisha.
