Memorial Hall’s Reflection Series presents Anansi and the Box of Stories
The Griot Presents: Tales from the Diaspora
Anansi and the Box of Stories
Anansi, a “spiderman,” cleverly outmaneuvers other animals to acquire a box containing all the stories in the world from the sky god, Nyame, who initially kept them solely for himself. Ensuring that stories would be shared amongst all creatures through Anansi’s cunning schemes, this tale highlights the theme of sharing knowledge and the power of storytelling. Enjoy the Griot’s talented cast of singers, dancers and actors (Seers) as they retell this age-old tale that has many iterations throughout the diaspora.
A family-friendly performance.
