54.60 Africa

54.60 Africa by Femi Elufowoju jr

“Infused with joy but it also gave glimpses of danger and the darker realities of life on the continent”

14 June — 12 July, Arcola Theatre

Twelve childhood friends dare each other to discover themselves in Africa. Their journeys traverse 54 countries, countless boundaries and endless risks. Lives, history and destinies are rewritten forever.

Exhilarating, cross-cultural pan-African encounters, brought to life through word, live music, song, and dance. 

54.60 Africa is inspired by the travels of its author who accomplished visiting every nation in the continent of Africa before his 60th birthday.

54.60 Africa was first developed in partnership with Omnibus Theatre, Hackney Showroom and Bernie Grant Arts Centre with funding from Arts Council England National Lottery Project Grants. It was further developed with the support of the National Theatre’s Generate programme.
