rasta liv
Rasta Liv is a biographical look at the life of a man committed to the future well-being of his family, his community and the country he called home, Africa.
The story follows Ellis Hercules’ journey from 1957 St Kitts to 2013 Ethiopia, via Leeds and Manchester in the 60s, 70s and 80s. Interviews with friends and family and a rich archive of letters, photographs and other ephemera are uncovered through physical performance, video projection and a live performance of a newly composed soundtrack.
Written and Performed by Marcus Hercules, Artistic Director of Hercules Productions.
“To say Marcus inhabits the space is an understatement. He lives, breathes and seems to look you right in the eye as he exhorts his love of his family, and the journey he takes you on. There were moments when I was standing on a football pitch in Ethiopia with Markus, so enthralled I was and so immersed I’d become.“ - @RochFolk
