BEING CHAKA IS A CO-PRODUCTION WITH TÉA ARTISTRY
Chaka, a 16 year old black high school student, transfers to a private school where he is haunted, literally and metaphorically, by the ghosts of generational trauma and systemic racism. Chaka and his classmates must learn to grapple with their histories, families and cultures– or else let the past consume them.
