Event Description

Join master storyteller Jan Blake for the Re-Rooting Tour: an exploration of African folktales in the diaspora through storytelling, music, rhythm, and song.

Jan Blake shares myths and tales that reconnect her with her African heritage and Jamaican roots, transforming ancestral bone-memory into a source of healing and joyful self‑expression.

Percussion and soundscape by Reg Wilford.

ABOUT THE STORY

The Origin of Life & Death: as we move through life, death walks beside us, yet we rarely grant it the same acceptance. Regardless of who we are, death is a shared journey, but many European cultures treat it with shock and denial, framing it as untimely or grotesque. In The Origin of Life and Death, Jan Blake draws on African traditions to reimagine our relationship with death, seeking ways to acknowledge and walk alongside it.

This evening is for ages 12+.
