Oba-Koso

Translated as The Kind Does Not Hang, this was a Yoruba Folk Opera retelling of the story of King Sango and his two rival generals. The performance represented an example of Total Theatre, interweaving music, acting, dancing and visual arts and the use of traditional drums including the Dundun (Talking Drum), played in contrast with the metallic tone of the Bata.
