Family fun for 3 and up! The Origin of Anansi the Spider is inspired by an African fable from the Ashanti people of Ghana. Anansi had a dream to be the lord of all stories, so he went to the Sky-God Nyame and made his request. Nyame gave him the mission of bringing back a python, a leopard, and a swarm of hornets and promised that if Anansi did this, he would become lord of the stories. Anansi was a great trickster and was able to use his cunning wit to fool the animals into coming back to Nyame with him. Anansi succeeded and was named lord of all stories.
This production is another in Curio’s Make/Partake series where children will have hands-on experience in participating in the production by making props, creating sound effects and even controlling the weather.
