The Marsh presents...
THE FULA FROM AMERICA: AN AFRICAN JOURNEY
Written and performed by Carlyle Brown
Directed by Louise Smith
Solo performer/writer Carlyle Brown based this piece on his travels in West
Africa and tells the story of his search for an African identity. Set in
1981, Brown ventures on a journey that takes him through Senegal, Mali,
Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, Guinea, and Sierra Leone. From deep bush to the
corridors of the African elite, he finds friendship, generosity, poverty,
wondrous beauty, and civil war.
As his adventures unfold, he finds himself on the boundary of the
African-American hyphen where the question arises: How much of him is
African and how much is American? Please support this out-of-towner who
Variety magazine has compared to such amazing performers as Lily Tomlin and
Spalding Gray.
