speaking of sneaking

written & performed by daniel jelani ellis

dramaturged & directed by d’bi.young anitafrika

Inspired by experiences of growing up queer in Jamaica and finding home in Canada, speaking of sneaking is about displacement, desperation and deception. A multidisciplinary mash-up of dance, poetry and pantomime where the archetypal Jamaican ginnal and the mythical African Anansi meet.

speaking of sneaking is a mainstage production in the 2023/24 season of Buddies in Bad Times Theatre.
