Details:

The Anansi stories are humorous, lively, empowering and “community” led stories that travelled with enslaved African people to the Caribbean and beyond, including here in the UK through the cultural contributions of African and Caribbean communities living across the UK.

Swallow’s Wings Puppetry are London-based Black Creatives empowering children with a reverence for and love of African-Caribbean culture and history. We work with children, neurodiverse & hearing impaired communities as well as elders in their homes & community settings. We enchant, entertain, educate and build cross-generational dialogue.

Anansi and the Lost Sun is part of our Family Fun Day for under 10s on Sunday 11 August. The day is jam-packed filled with workshops, crafts, face painting and fun for all the family! Come along and stay for the whole day!

The FestiDale is part of Local Exchange, the Royal Exchange Theatre’s ambitious long-term programme co-curated with ambassadors and champions in communities across Greater Manchester.
