Tales for the Telling, Stories for Adults
Tohio! African Hut Stories
The McMillan Arts Centre will vibrate to the rhythms of African folk tales as Nigerian storyteller, Comfort Ero, joins us for a remarkable evening of stories and fun.
“Tohio” means “I have a story to tell.”
Comfort has just returned from a visit to her home in Nigeria and will have stories to tell us.
In Africa storytelling is a way of life. It is integrated into everyday life and plays a major role in shaping people’s lives. It is not only entertaining, but it also passes on the values and principles of a culture. It is a teaching tool and a guide used to raise children and instill wisdom and harmony into people.
This is the authentic experience that you will hear if you come to hear master storyteller Comfort Ero perform.
Comfort Ero was born and raised in Nigeria as the first daughter of the chief of her village. As a young girl, she was immersed in the dramatization of popular folk tales, songs and dances. It is rumored that as a small child she could be overheard acting, singing and telling stories by herself. It seemed she was destined to bring these stories to life wherever she went.
