The World Is My Home
Performed by Stogie Kenyatta at the Eventide Arts Festival
Stogie Kenyatta brings a unique interpretation to the life and times of Paul Robeson; in which he majestically captures the essence of the man. In his captivating one hour performance he portrays ten characters and chronologically takes us through the life of history's first Black renaissance man.
Opening as Robeson's father, a 15 year-old runaway slave, who rode the underground railroad to freedom. Kenyatta's vision is as entertaining as it is educational. He uses poetry, satire, music, comdey and brilliant storytelling to give us a comprehensive view into the scholar, actor, singer, athlete and political activist that was Robeson.
A powerful, poignant and touching love story in which we follow him to four continents with the love of his life, wife Eslanda. Stogie Kenyatta's skillful portrayal exposes the romantic charm, the wit as well as the human frailities of a life full of triumphant achievement and the tragedy of hopes unfulfilled.
It is an unforgetable tribute and a history lesson you won't want to miss.
