King Musu
February 8 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
King Musu, an African theatre adaptation of Sophocles’ Oedipus Rex, runs from Thursday, February 6 to Saturday, February 8, at the Anvil Theatre in New Westminster. Presented by the newly formed Akofena Afro-Theatre Society and Time Will Tell Arts Society, tickets for this production celebrating African heritage and culture are now on sale. They are available for purchase at King Musu – Tickets NW.
King Musu, written by Ernest Kwasi Amponsah and directed by Stephen Yaw Oppong, employs the African Total Theatre form—a blend of African storytelling, music, dance, and drama—and offers audiences a memorable, interactive experience. Featuring a predominantly African cast, King Musu delivers a historic and enriching experience for Metro Vancouver audiences during 2025 Black History Month.
This project is a remount of an earlier production at Dorothy Somerset Studio of the University of British Columbia from April 11-13, 2024, partially funded by the Public Scholars Initiative and the Department of Theatre and Film, UBC.
