Global citizen Nari Safavi joins us on Fridays for Weekend Passport when he presents cool international things you can do for the weekend. The Fehinty African Theatre Ensemble began in 2004, after a group of students at Truman College put on the play “The Gods are Not to Blame” by Ola Rotimi. The ensemble’s mission is “to present creative works, from throughout the African diaspora, to spark cross-cultural dialogue, support African performers, and engage African communities.” We speak with Teju Adesida, director of Fehinty African Theatre Ensemble.
