SKY ROOTS

From war-torn Liberia to Adelaide’s stages, local theatre icon Shedrick Yarkpai shares his extraordinary true story in a powerful, deeply human one-man show. Blending Shakespeare, storytelling, rap, rhythm, and song, he explores how art, resilience, and humour helped him rebuild a life on the other side of the world. Both raw and uplifting, this performance moves between laughter and heartbreak as it uncovers what it means to survive, belong, and keep creating when everything else has been stripped away. Filled with music, movement, and powerful honesty, this is a captivating journey of voice, identity, and hope from one of South Australia’s most inspiring performers. This intimate, compelling and uplifting show is not to be missed – three performances only!
