Iyawo Osingin Stage play

Iyawo Osingin shines a piercing light on the weight of tradition and the cost of silence.

The artwork uses vibrant colors, intricate patterns from adire fabric, and detailed traditional hairstyles with cowrie shells to evoke themes of tradition, grace, and the feminine touch in marriage. 

Following one bride’s struggle against family pride and societal expectations, this drama explores identity, duty, and the courage it takes to control one’s life.

Through raw storytelling and powerful performance, the play asks: what happens when a woman’s voice is buried beneath honour and prestige?

It was written and directed by Ayodeji Ajadi and Iyalagha Deborah.
