ORENTE 💜

I thought I was going to make this long, poetic post.. but actually no 😂

Enjoy a peek into the world of Orente ⭐️

One moment of “fuck it, let’s do it” evolved into something so fun, challenging, exciting, and imaginative 🥹

I will ALWAYS cherish Orente and every single person who made not only the play, but our WORLD, as real as it was.

The difference between a show and an experience is as clear as day, #Afrocalypso2026 is the latter.

I tag @framesandstages as a whole experience from the time we started getting ready to piece every thought, line and expression together. From rehearsal room to stage, we did the thing🙌🏾

Our stories shall be told.

What if war took over your land?

Enjoy a snippet of the heartfelt rendition that opened one of the powerful theater plays Rise and fall (Akoko suru) at the recent AfroCalypso 2026. A powerful play on power, war and loss.
