"EfuPɔnkɔ" The Camel (a total theatre performance)
EfuPɔnkɔ is uniquely a folk story based on the music composed by the late Bob Cole titled, "Ɛdwen ɖɛɛ ɛre yɛ me". The tale talks about a community where a certain animal called "EfuPɔnkɔ" lives. After eating and getting satisfied, EfuPɔnkɔ goes about doing foolish things in the community. He refuses to listen to the wisdom of his friend the "Cat" to stop the foolishness and rather calls him a thief.
One day, through his foolishness , he kicked his master’s son, which necessitated the rushing of the boy to a hospital. The medical doctor tried hard to save the boy’s life, but to no avail. The master's son died. The death of Camel’s master’s son landed all the other animals - Horse, Goat, Sheep, Cow and Fowl, in trouble. The Horse got hurt while running to call the doctor to save the boy's life. Towards the funeral, all the other animals were taken to the slaughter house for the preparation of sumptuous meals for sympathizers, family members and friends, who will come to mourn.
This story relates to so many occurrences in real social life situation facing Ghana today. They can easily be identified nationwide in illegal mining, poor sanitation, ethnic conflicts, teenage pregnancy and school dropouts.
It also focuses on highlighting and addressing other issues like rural and urban migration, stowaway through cargo ships bound to other countries , coupled with other problems will be sequentially choreographed artistically in the performance.
