Beautiful, powerful, personal and musical – “Resilience” is a play with the urgency of now combined with timeless stories of healing.

Internationally recognized musician, humanitarian, and artists Samite tells his life’s story in this multi-media one-man play. He tells the story of his emergence from the nightmare of life under Amin and Milton Obote (“… when the birds stopped singing”) to being a healer through the power of music.

Samite often includes a story or two in his concerts, but now he has turned his entire presentation inside out and the result is raw and bracing. Both performances of this show include an extended post-performance Q&A for authentic audience connection.
