54.60 Africa - Femi Elufowoju, OBE jr

London June 2025.

The fate of Africa rests solely on the zeal and chivalry of eleven adventurous friends. Their ancestral ‘mother’ gives them seven days to prove to the rest of the world that their fabulous continent is worth celebrating and not burying. Their journeys traverse fifty-four countries, countless boundaries, and endless risks. Lives, history and destinies are rewritten forever.

54.60 Africa is an exhilarating, cross-cultural pan-African encounter inspired by the travels of its author who accomplished visiting every one of Africa’s then fifty-four nations, before his sixtieth birthday.

This edition of 54.60 Africa was published to coincide with the production by the Arcola Theatre, in association with the Elufowoju jr Ensemble, in June 2025.
