Slave: A Question of Freedom, Theatre Production

12th October 14:00 to 16:00
An award-winning production that tells Mende Nazer's powerful story of survival from slavery and human trafficking. A story on the horrors of modern slavery and the resilience of the human spirit.
This event is part of Black History Month - the celebration of the continued achievements and contributions of Black people in the UK and around the world during. As outlined on the official Black History Month website, it is also a time for continued action to tackle racism, reclaim Black history, and to ensure Black history is represented and celebrated all year round.

In the heart of the remote Nuba Mountains of Sudan, life is still a good fire around which stories are joyfully told, until the men on horseback come.

This exceptional award-winning production tells Mende Nazer’s inspirational story. Performed by an outstanding ensemble of eight actor-musicians it is a feast of storytelling, music and dance. It celebrates Mende’s indomitable spirit, the beauty of the ancient Nuba culture, and as a famine of the inhumanity and horror of trafficking and modern slavery.
