A tour-de-force performance from spoken word artist Yusra Warsama about Somalis in Britain and Britain in Somalia,
Based on real events and featuring the epic lyrical tradition of Somalia, The Crows Plucked Your Sinews is a unique exploration of the violence of empire and the poetry of resistance, alongside a live music soundtrack, and beautiful visuals.
May 2011: A young Somali woman sits in the dark of a Woolwich council house watching the assassination of Osama Bin Laden unfold on TV. Upstairs her ailing grandmother is talking to ghosts.
August 1913: The British are at war...in the Horn of Africa. In the interior of British Somaliland the hunt for the 'Mad Mullah' is on. A woman dervish warrior searches the body of a British Tommy. In the morning the killing will begin.
Soon these two worlds will collide and change everyone's lives.
