Known for her intensely powerful performances, Bessie Award–winning Okwui Okpokwasili (featured in Ralph Lemon’s Scaffold Room) considers the collective amnesia around the Nigerian women’s resistance movements of the past century. With collaborator Peter Born, she mixes ritualistic and hallucinogenic movement, song, video, and text, creating a dystopian narrative in which characters slip through the fissures of time to wander in a bush of ghosts.
