Black to My Roots: African American Tales from the Head and the Heart
The BTMR Project (Seattle, USA)
This award-winning play explores the cultural, social and political
significance of Black women’s hair. Through dynamic storytelling and
music, it delves into themes of identity, self-esteem, race and
resilience, offering a profound commentary on beauty standards, history
and empowerment. The success of Black To My Roots since its 2002 debut
at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, including its 25th Anniversary
production in 2024, showcases its enduring relevance. With upcoming
global tours and adaptations, these African American tales clearly
continue to resonate deeply with audiences worldwide.
