Top of PageNzinga - Warrior Queen
Synopsis:
A powerful exploration of one of the world's most intriguing yet little known female rulers. Born in ancient Angola, into a patriarchal society, Nzinga defied tradition to become queen at the age of 50 with the aim of ensuring her people were kept safe from the Portuguese slave traders. A true story of unrivalled determination, incredible wit, intelligence and resilience this piece examines the challenges Nzinga faced as a woman, questioning femininity, spirituality and the thin line between right and wrong. With live music (African instruments), multimedia projections and storytelling theatre.
