Described as a powerful and unforgettable story of the ivory trade, the story centres on the one they call Mlima, the mountain. Killed for his magnificent tusks, killed for greed, killed for ivory, his spirit journeys through the ivory trade market, marking those complicit in his barbaric death.
It opens on September 21, with previews from September 14, and runs until October 21.
