A drama/dance adaptation of a collection of poems by Grace Nichols. By drawing on elements of African culture, it tells of a spiritual journey of an African woman taken in captivity to the Caribbean, her experiences as a slave, and how she survives being uprooted from her native land. Dramatised sequences are interspersed with Grace Nichol's comments about her poems, placed in the context of Afro-Caribbean history.
