\u2014 ABOUT THE PROJECT<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

After the death of Engineer Abimbola Issachar Bakare in Toronto, three cousins are charged with a quest \u2013 to return his body back to their homeland, Nigeria where he might rest in peace with his ancestors. All three cousins are gripped by loss, a companion so powerful it may as well be a character. As they wrestle with cumulative losses, they are forced to prepare to reclaim a place that is half remembered, and which has taken on mythical proportions in their memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Magda Uculmana-Falcon<\/strong> (a.k.a. isi bhakhomen) (Acting, 2021)<\/strong> is a PERUVIAN and NIGERIAN playwright, actor and director based in Tkaronto, Treaty 13 Territory. Through storytelling they aim to build worlds that give black children permission to breathe, to release, and to heal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During their time at NTS, they had the opportunity to work with incredible artists such Jojo Rideout and Brian Dooley (Voice and Text), Martha Burns (Intro to the Actor\u2019s Process), Rose Plotek and Anne-Marie MacDonald (Solo Project), Julain Molnar (Solo Song), Anita Nittoly and David Chinchilla (Stage Combat), Brenda Bazinet (Canadian Scene Study), Willow White (Theatre History), Tim Welham and Danielle Irvine (Shakespeare), Floydd Ricketts (Head of Music), Andrew Kushnir (Bonus Points If You Have Air Conditioning) and ahdri zhina mandiela (Devised Theatre Creation).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, they would like to acknowledge their mentor, Lisa Karen Cox. Without them, this accomplishment, graduating from the National Theatre School of Canada, would not have been possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
