Speakers' Corner

Don Letts (of Big Audio Dynamite, Dancehall Queen fame) returns in a new guise as artistic director of this spoken word theatrical experience. Seven cutting edge lyricists, human beatboxer Mad Flow and spoken word artist Malika Booker, expose the slavery that exists in 2007's multi-cultural generation. Backed by a house band, the artists will focus on the legacy of slavery, exploring themes such as the enslavement of women, modern day rituals, breaking the cycle of inherent racism and the entrapments of the media.

Each show will include guest MCs with a post-show set by Don Letts in his guise as Dub Cartel.

Full line-up: Mad Flow, Malika Booker, Shane Solanki, Yusura Warsama, Decifer, RT.
