APEX ZERO – DRUMMER WARRIOR STORYTELLER (TRAILER)

APEX ZERO - DRUMMER WARRIOR STORYTELLER (TRAILER)

Apex Zero's latest project is ‘Drummer Warrior Storyteller’. The multi-layered visual album that aspires to encapsulate Nigerian author Chinua Achebe’s perception of storytelling. While the Drummer calls and gathers the people and the Warrior fights the war, the Storyteller recounts the events, creating history, embodying the memory of those who survive. The project incorporates music, film, dance, photography, painting and immersive listening experiences that engage audiences through multiple mediums in the form of an installation exhibition.

This film is the first of two halves, that aim to to explore and express personal and shared experiences of African Caribbean people in London and beyond. Written, choreographed, performed and filmed with an individual and collective methodology, the first film focuses on violence, trauma and the relentless need for self-defence, whilst the second will explore our joy, growth and revolutionary act of living life.
