Inspired by her ancestors, her family and Africa’s resilience, three-time GRAMMY® winner Angélique Kidjo conjures up a timely musical theatre work that is at once a family drama and historical thriller, redolent of Greek tragedy and infused with themes of love, betrayal, honor and the horrors of slavery. Yemandja is a work of magical realism that illuminates what happens when people are robbed of their culture. Yemandja is co-commissioned by ArtsEmerson; The Broad Stage at Santa Monica College, Cal Performances, Ruth and Stephen Hendel, The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, MASS MoCA and Yale Schwarzman Center. Produced by THE OFFICE performing arts + film.
