A Man of Good Hope Trailer

The true story of one refugee’s epic quest across Africa, brought to life with music from the world-renowned Isango Ensemble.
Asad is a young Somali refugee with a painful past, miraculously good luck and a brilliant head for business. After years in a refugee camp and then learning to hustle in the streets of Ethiopia, he sets off for the promised land of South Africa. But when he arrives, he discovers the violent reality of life in the townships - and his adventures really begin.
The critically-acclaimed South African Isango Ensemble return to the Young Vic after the Olivier Award-winning The Magic Flute. This adaptation of Jonny Steinberg’s riveting book is told through roof-lifting songs and dance accompanied on the marimba.
A collaboration with the Royal Opera House, Repons Foundation, BAM and Les Théâtres de la Ville de Luxembourg.

I extremely recommend this performance!! Their voices haven't nothing to envy to the best singers and their body language, their faces, their dances, their acting was so impressive that I couldn't stop to cry or smile until pain!! They made me feel it. And the end... A man of good hope makes you understand that behind every person there is a big story and you shouldn't judge without knowledge, and of course than the world isn't as it should be... Even my friend who doesn't speak English at all enjoyed it! I really would like to find the book in Spanish for my dad, but it seems that it's not translated... Yet.
