Yoruba Cosmology Behind the Story

Yoruba is an ethnic group composed of over 40 million people who reside in present day Benin, Togo and Southwestern Nigeria, and share a common language and culture. The forced migration of Yoruba people to the Americas through the Transatlantic Slave Trade led to a blending of multipole religions and cultures. The Brothers Size draws on elements, icons and stories from the Yoruba cosmology, most notably through the names and traits of characters.

Portland Center Stage is committed to identifying & interrupting instances of racism & all forms of oppression, through the principles of inclusion, diversity, equity, & accessibility (IDEA).
