Coming up at Alliance Francaise: “LAIMOMO”, A UNIQUE CREATIVE ARTS SHOW


Date: Wednesday 24th June,2015  Time:7:30pm Venue: Alliance Française Accra.

Creative artist, Akweley Bernice Animle presents “Laimomo”, a special performance featuring many aspects of the creative arts: drama, dance, music, poetry, painting and photography. This show will take place on Wednesday 24th June 2015 as part of La Paillote Takpekpe events organized by Alliance Francaise Accra to encourage and support the creative arts.

Laimomo seeks to criticize the then and now, taking into consideration sanitation issues and the fact that many have become insensitive to the environment. The show aims to use drama, dance, music, poetry, painting, photography and rap to inspire the audience to stand up against all wrong doings; such as selling in the midst of filth and extortion of tenants by landlords. It seeks to encourage people to go back to communal living where being each other’s keeper was appreciated and emphasize the importance of team work. The central focus of the performance is to question the ever changing state of culture. The Audience is sure to experience a painting brought to life by very talented actors.

Lai signifies ‘wood’ and momo denotes ‘old’. The two combined have a rather interesting birth which is; old wood. This simply means the old wood is the best to use. Laimomo is a Ga term which can be linked to the adinkra symbol of the Akans called sankofa which means ‘go back and take it!’. According to the Akweley, director of the show, “it is the old wood that ignites fire quickly hence its effectiveness in the area of cooking and other areas that need the use of fire. We must learn to go back to our roots and pick from there some vital values to aid our future.”
