SHOW NOTES

In today’s episode we’re continuing a 3-part series called 3 Masters on Art & Impact, where I get to share with you the work and my experience with 3 amazing artists and masters, who profoundly affected my life, how I create theatre and understand the power of art in the world today.

Today we’re talking about my second master, Sotigui Kouyaté.

Sotigui was a griot, an actor and a playwright. He worked with Peter Brook’s company, Théâtre des Bouffes du Nord in Paris for more than 20 years. He was one of West Africa’s most respected actors, best known for his role in London River for which he earned the Silver Bear for best actor at the 2009 Berlin Film Festival.
