Negus, the title bestowed on Emperors of Ethiopia, the Kings of Kings. This is an initiation, a story of anointing beckoned to the receiver from within. A striking figure narrates this poetic world of form and formlessness, evoking a sense of spirit and other worldliness. Dance and music transiently immerse this journey from the still darkness of the unknown to the coronation of the child. Our ascension doesn’t start from any outward action, it takes place from our acknowledgement of our greatness. Created in collaboration by Akeim Toussaint Buck, Muti Musafiri, Azizi Cole, Soloman The Wizard and Ashley Karrell. See the full collection at https://sadl.rs/CommissionedbySadlers...
