Event information
"Beautifully directed by Mojisola Kareem, music and movement become metabolised within the story…" - The Guardian
Utopia Theatre is delighted to bring our latest screening event to the Creative Hub, in honour of Black History Month. Here's What She Said To Me, written by Oladipo Agboluaje, is the heartfelt story of three generations of proud African women: Agbeke, Omotola and Aramide. They connect with one another across time, space, and two continents. They share their struggles, joys, tragedies, and broken dreams, in order to find healing in the present. Feel the energy of a live theatre audience in the room with you as this live capture of the show takes you through this deeply intimate exploration of memory, migration and Black female identities through the lens of the mother-daughter relationship.
The play combines compelling drama with music, poetry and movement to illustrate this story of mothers and daughters in the world of migration and shifting identities, braving life with an undying hope, optimism and resilience. The complexities of the female experience are conveyed through the portrayal of challenging, but authentic themes, such as sexual assault, abortion, infidelity, and miscarriage.
Following the screening, we will be joined by Director of the show and Artistic Director of Utopia Theatre, Mojisola Kareem and a number of special guest panelists. Alongside our fantastic host, Mojisola and the panel are thrilled to be a part of this open conversation, ready to answer all of your audience questions and reflect on the themes of this well-loved production. You'll even get a flavour of what's next from Utopia with some behind the scenes intel on what to expect from Crown of Blood...
We are also thrilled to announce that our event is supported by a collection of incredible vendors, so our guests are in for a real treat on the evening! You'll have the chance to sample products from some of our favourite local businesses, including:

OLGA & ASQUITH: Jasmine's vegan ginger cake
