In a co-production with the Young Vic, this UK premiere is a lyrical and passionate drama that plants Yoruba myth into the soil of Louisiana.

It tells the story of two brothers: Ogun who owns an auto-repair shop, and Oshoosi, who’s just left prison and always manages to take the wrong track.


When his ex-cell mate Elegba gives him a clapped-out car, true freedom seems just around the corner…
