In the vibrant village of Affreakah-Amirrorkah, the narrative unfolds around Akim, celebrated as the epitome of beauty amidst her envious classmates. Tori Sampson's contemporary adaptation of a West African fable blends live music and dance to explore the relentless pursuit of unattainable beauty standards, particularly affecting Black women. Under the direction of Ontaria Kim Wilson, this production features a cast including Nia Amante as Akim and Alayna Spencer as Massassi. The performance aims to shed light on the pressures faced by young girls and the societal implications of beauty ideals.
