Entertainment, producers of Taruwa arts and culture festival and award
winning online art and opinion magazine, The Naked Convos have come
together to bring you a unique stage production.
Colour Me Man is an exploration of some of the less frequently discussed things that "colour" men and make them what they are.
It
is very loosely inspired by the play "For Colored Girls Who Have
Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf" by Ntozake Shange and it is
based on a series of monologues written by young Nigerian male bloggers
who take on colors that represent different traits that may cause a man
to be "colored" a particular way by society.
The play, which was
adapted for stage by award-winning writers, Abiodun Kassim, Oluwole
Talabi and Pemi Agude stars Deyemi Okanlawon,Timi Charles-Fadipe, Toju
Ejoh, Seun Kentebe, Ola-Rotimi Fakunle and Simi Hassan.
It is directed by Najite Dede and produced by Lydia Idakula Sobogun.
In
the words of Olawale Adetula, Founder and Online Editor of The Naked
Convos, "Colour Me Man aims to express, explore and expose many of the
circumstances, struggles, experiences, quirks and obstacles that several
groups of Nigerian men face throughout their lives.
The monologues
deal with wealth, family, health, love, sex, religion and much more "
embodied by each man's colour and told in his own way."
