Description

On the night when joy should overflow, silence and sorrow fill the chambers of a young bride. Iyawo Osingin unfolds as an evocative tale of a woman caught between tradition, duty, and her own suppressed desires.

As the drums of celebration fade into the distance, the bride retreats into a world of pain and hesitation. Her parents, guardians of heritage and honor – stand before her, torn between the pride of giving their daughter away and the guilt of the sacrifice demanded of her. What follows is a haunting conversation that peels back layers of secrecy, love, betrayal, and generational burden.

Will the bride find her voice against the heavy weight of cultural expectations? Will her parents defend the choices made for her, or confront the unspoken truths that haunt their family? Iyawo Osingin is a powerful exploration of silence and speech, obedience and defiance, tradition and individuality.

This stage play blends Yoruba cultural depth with timeless questions of freedom, sacrifice, and the cost of conformity. An intimate drama where one night becomes a mirror of a lifetime.
