Synopsis
Far Gone is a profoundly moving story of a young boy’s journey from childhood innocence to child soldier. Told with humour, poetry and startling physical theatre, Okumu’s experience strikes straight at the heart through a powerful one-man performance. Inspired by Rwothomack’s own near experience of abduction by the LRA, the play explores how conflict reshapes identity, family and belonging and what it takes to hold onto humanity in the face of violence.
