Our Father

Mo Korede, part of Camden Fringe Festival 2023

A journey of catharsis and community-healing which unpacks the consequences of absent-present F/fathers

Our Father unpacks the embodied, generational consequences of absent-present F/fathers being, human. all the things 'we don't speak about' yet inform our entire idea of self; Written by Mo Korede this is not a story about dumping on what went wrong but conceptualising, rationalising and accepting your relationship as well as who that person is/was.

 

It’s a re-introduction of a child and their father. Our Father invites audiences to follow us on a journey of catharsis and community-healing.

 

Part of Camden Fringe Festival 2023.

ABOUT

All Mo's work has been written by himself and he has performed in various places (London, Lagos, Preston). Mo is highly fascinated by creating work that allows others to understand each other more rather than a hero-villain complex. Alongside theatre, he is a poet and a young associate at the Hammersmith Lyric.
