ITAN Stage play

ÌTÀN is a very fascinating blend of drama, cultural and contemporary dance and music. It captures the sublime tension and misunderstanding that exists between different age generations – the millennials, in particular. It also outlines subtle modern cultural mismatches.

The play written by Ayo Jaiyesimi and directed by renowned theatre veteran, Ben Tomoloju, showcases Àsìkò (‘Time’ personified) who intervenes in a feud between ‘old school, die-hard’ village elder, Pa Latinwo and his newly discovered city, roller-coaster grandson, D-Kay. Àsìkò takes them on a journey into the past and the future and they both discover dark secrets that make them come to terms with the fact that they need each other to survive. The play features some of Nigeria’s stage favorites including Nobert Young, Sam Uquah, Nissi George, Segun Dada and Wazobia FM’s ‘Lolo 1’- Omotunde David amongst others.
