SELF – PORTRAIT
A ONE MAN PLAY
BY
IYABA IBO MANDINGO
SELF PORTRAIT IS A ONE MAN POETRY PLAY. THE AUDIENCE IS INVITED INTO THE STUDIO OF ARTIST IYABA IBO MANDINGO AS HE REFLECTS ON HIS LIFE IN POETIC VERSE WHILE WORKING ON A SELF-PORTRAIT.
THE IDEA WAS BORN FROM THE MIND OF THIS MODERN DAY GRIOT AFTER YEARS OF STRUGGLING TO DEFINE HIMSELF AS AN ARTIST. “BEING BOTH A VISUAL ARTIST AND A POET, I ALWAYS ASSUMED I WOULD HAVE TO CHOOSE ONE TO FOCUS ON AND ATTEMPT TO MASTER. I REALIZED CHOOSING ONE WOULD MARGINALIZE THE OTHER. SO NOW I DO THEM BOTH. THIS PLAY IS THE RESULT OF MY EFFORTS.”
