Event Description
Sunjata Kamalenya (translated: Sunjata for Youth) is a new completely interactive production by Experiential Theater Company which celebrates the greatest hero of West African legend, Sunjata Keita, the first mansa (king) of the ancient Empire of Mali.
Based on the story of the Lion King, this production chronicles the struggles of a boy destined to be the leader of the Mande' people of West Africa.
Traditional music, costumes, and scenery whisk you away to 13th century Mali where the jelimuso (storyteller) guides your journey as you sing, dance, and act alongside professional actors and musicians.
Audiences gain a unique experience that celebrates the spirit of determination and the love of family in the face of seemingly impossible odds.
Both parents and children can participate in the show.
