Far Gone is a gut kicking physical performance with humour, poetry,
and the horrors of being a child soldier. It follows the life of
Okumu, an innocent boy living with a good family in Northern Uganda.
When his village is attacked by Joseph Kony’s Lords Resistance Army
(LRA), him and his brother are captured and their lives are forever
changed. Follow Okumu through this transformation from boy to child
soldier. The boy struggles to fit into the bush life he’s been
forced into until one day an unexpected visitor appears. Written and
performed by John Rwoth-Omack, this one man play also explores how
historically political and religious decisions made by western powers
contributed to civil wars in Africa which in turn gave birth to the
existence of a child soldier. Has much changed? Wednesday, 15 April to
Thursday, 16 April @ 7:45pm In the Studio
