As blood – both life blood and death blood – cycles through her coming of age st ory, mudgu encounters her cleanliness- obsessed granny, a machete-wielding stranger, her reggae-loving boyfriend and her church-going aunty. Helping her trav erse her past, present and future lies mudgu’s mother, who left her in search of a better life for herself and mudgu in Canada. Fusing theatre and dub poetry, the extraordinary artist d’bi.young anitafrika portrays mudgu with wit, charisma and power. (Show Study Guide)
