Anansi, Spiderman of Africa!
Newark Public Library - Springfield Branch, 50 Hayes St, Newark, NJ | Get Directions »
FREE
A side-splitting selection of famous folktales from Africa starring Anansi the Spider, whose appetite always overrules his intellect. Anansi loves to eat and hates to work, so he tries to trick other animals out of their food. But there's no free lunch for Anansi, because all of his schemes leave him hungrier than ever!
Anansi is one of the classic trickster characters in world folklore. These comical African folktales are both entertaining and instructive; because he puts his own desires ahead of the needs of his community, Anansi often ends up exiled to the corner of the room.
Performed by Crabgrass Puppet Theatre.
PNC Foundation is proud to support The Newark Public Library's 2013 Black History Month Celebration.
