World Premier of The Ceremony by Mfoniso Udofia
The Ufot Family Cycle Boston’s Ufot Family Cycle is an unprecedented two-year-city-wide festival where theatres and arts organizations around Greater Boston will join to produce Mfoniso Udofia's cycle of 9 plays.
Play 6 of 9 within the Cycle is a moving, multigenerational story that intertwines Nigerian and Nepali cultural traditions. When Abasiama and Disciple’s only son, Ekong asks Lumanthi Rathi to be his wife, they accept that their dream wedding might have to go on without either of their fathers present. But when Lumanti’s dad has a sudden change of heart, Ekong dares to attempt a reconciliation with his long-estranged father in order to make the ritual of their wedding ceremony truly whole.
