Story for Dreaming Zenzile
At her final concert, South African musical legend and activist Miriam Makeba delivers the performance of her life, raising the conscience and the consciousness of a people. But the ancestors are calling—transporting her through the music and fractured memories of her past on a spiritual journey of reconciliation. Written and performed by international music sensation Somi Kakoma, this world premiere musical is an electrifying portrait of a revolutionary artist’s singular voice and vision. NYTW Usual Suspect & former 2050 Fellow Lileana Blain-Cruz directs the soul-stirring production which includes a live jazz band playing original music and reinterpretations of Makeba’s remarkable catalog. Dreaming Zenzile is a co-production with National Black Theatre.
