In August 2020, this video appeared as part of CBC's "FreeUp! Emancipation Day" series, in which Black Canadian artists expressed what freedom means to them through music, poetry, performance and dance. Here, Amaka Umeh gives a powerful performance of Hamlet's most iconic scene - a soliloquy on life and consequence. This season, the Festival welcomes Amaka back to the stage, in the role she was to have played in our 2020 season.
