Description: A play based on original text by Ken Saro-Wiwa (1941-1995) who was hanged by the Nigerian dictatorship in 1995 for his activism on behalf of his Nigerian Ogoni people. The original text is a condemned man’s last letter to his loved one. Mrishi Mpoto, Elidady Msangi and Irene Sanga from Tanzania adapted this text and use poetic style in Kiswahili, combine it with slam poetry and storytelling to talk about corruption and abuse of power in contemporary Africa.
