Yassama and the Beaded Calabash
When the well in her village begins to dry up, Yassama must walk farther each day to fetch water for her family. She worries about the future of her village. Will she be able to save it from the drought that threatens them?
With the help of an old Baobab tree and a mysterious beaded calabash, Yassama learns to understand the limits of the nature that sustains her.
Blending African oral tradition, theatre, and dance, Yassama and the Beaded Calabash is a timeless ecological and spiritual tale. More than a search for water, the story reveals the sacred bond between people and Mother Earth, celebrating perseverance, humility, and shared responsibility.
Show times at 11am and 2pm
