By Soretti Kadir
A multilingual performance combining theatre, poetry, song and Oromo dance. Exploring what it means to be human in the presence of each other – those who elevate your humanity and those who deny it.
Dedicated to lifting up the diverse philosophies and stories that the Oromo worldview has to offer.
Soretti Kadir dedicates this performance to the memory of Haacaaluu Hundeessaa, an Oromo Hero.
A sneak peek into the work was live streamed on Saturday 12 September 2020.
A recording of this Showing is available to stream on demand via the Take Over! playlist on Youtube. Available for a strictly limited time, until Thursday 22 October.
