Sankofa, an African word from the Akan tribe in Ghana, conveys the ancient wisdom in learning and retrieving from the past to ensure a brighter, healthier and wiser future. Sankofa, a new performance by Anna Parisi portrays a young woman contending with the voices in her head and her self-worth in a world where the standards of beauty and value do not match her identity. Parisi is joined by performance collaborators Jawuan Hill and Zamo Mlengana from The Juilliard School.
