Labelled “one of the most original experiences on offer” (QR), this 'second' episode spotlights overt medical racism prevalent in the UK.
A one woman show that presents a kaleidoscope of moments told through interweaving language, customs, visuals and music all controlled onstage by Lula using the wearable technology MiMu Gloves.
When the mind forgets but the body doesn’t, every traumatic event is etched into the fabric of DNA. Memories manifests themselves like a pollutant, causing powers to misfire. Is she Earth personified?
‘I am a walking Universe, Godlike, with the power to create life’.
No, the doctor says, ‘you have the Black Women Curse'
Who cursed her? How? When? Why...
“Her storytelling is engrossing. When combined with her unique use of technology this creates a poignant exploration of life.” The List ★★★★
“she should not only be seen and celebrated but encouraged to further develop her ideas and staging techniques” Across The Arts ★★★★
Neither a musical or drama... It’s a new kind of storytelling. Dubbed as the future of storytelling, building a cult like following, 'it would be unsurprising to find people talking fondly in years to come on how lucky they were to see OommoO, before Lula Mebrahtu took to the stratosphere' QR
“OommoO remains compelling, with vast possibilities” The Scotsman
