A Song for Adaeze is an Afrofuturist musical rooted in West African folklore and Diasporic memory, infused with a sci-fi twist and a powerful original score. The story follows a young woman born into royal legacy whose encounter with a mysterious figure from another dimension forces her to confront destiny, tradition, and the status quo — setting in motion a transformation that could either dismantle or renew her world.
Created in 2015, the work has evolved through workshops, grant-funded development, and staged readings at Georgia State University, the Atlanta Black Theatre Festival, the Atlanta Musical Theatre Festival, and PushPush Arts.
More than a musical, A Song for Adaeze is a reclamation of narrative and a bold exploration of identity, power, and possibility.
