Fuel presents Inua Ellams’
Black T-shirt Collection
Written and performed by Inua Ellams
Directed by Thierry Lawson
Developed with the support of the Arvon Foundation and the National Theatre.
A T-shirt is something most people have. It is a common denominator like a pair of blue jeans or a pair of Converse All Stars. In Black T-shirt Collection Inua tells a story about where a T-shirt comes from and what it means.
Inua Ellams was born in Nigeria in 1984, and moved to the UK as a teenager. Inua’s work merges visual art, spoken word and theatre, and he is known for his iconic imagery, beauty
and attention to detail. He writes about his upbringing, the experience of immigration, and of living in the UK today, bringing words to life with pace, rhythm, cadence and intonation.
The poet and performer who brought us The 14th Tale and Untitled, performs his new work,
Black T-shirt Collection at Bristol Old Vic as part of its first national tour.
‘Ellams’ evocative writing conjures a Nigeria where myth and magic sit casually alongside everyday life.’
The Guardian (on Untitled)
