WHAT’S ON?

OKAN
Experience the captivating world of Ọkan, the latest duet collaboratively created by Akeim Toussaint Buck and Ella Mesma. Rooted in the Yoruba word meaning Oneness, Conscience, and Heart, Ọkan embodies a limitless, open-minded approach to life. The performance blends the fluidity of Salsa with the precision of Wing Chun martial arts, transcending gender, human, and emotional barriers to become a catalyst for transformation.
Inspired by themes of identity, ancestry, and unity, Ọkan invites audiences to reflect on the complexities of being while celebrating resilience and connection. It is a breath of hope that resonates deeply, leaving a lasting impact on all who witness its artistry. The piece also serves as a tribute to the history and legacy of those who came before us, honouring their stories through movement and expression.
