Apex Zero‘s multi-layered visual album ‘Drummer Warrior Storyteller‘ 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 memory for those who survived.
The album incorporates music, film, dance, photography, painting, metal work, costume design and immersive listening / viewing experiences that engage audiences through multiple mediums in the form of an installation exhibition and live theatre performance.
Drummer Warrior Storyteller (Part One) is produced in collaboration with Steph Be, Theo ‘Godson’ Oloyade, Alethia Antonia, FUBUNATION, 3000CeanHill, Chiba Visuals, Informotion Worldwide, Village 101, GlobalFaction, Breakin’ Convention, Charlita ‘Lita-Styles’ Hall, Ekua McMorris, Dora Lam, Anna Beel, Ukombozii Ancestral Drums, Micall Parknsun, Al Lawson, In:Theory, Crazy Haze, Mazzi & S.O.U.L.
