- The Ruins Of Empires is an innovative performance piece by Hip Hop Artist and writer Akala. It is an abridged version of his epic poem of the same name and is a personal interpretation of history as told through the 'knowledge seeker' performed by Akala himself. He follows the course of mans evolution, via astral travel and multiple reincarnations, in an attempt to discover the cause of the rise and fall of Empires. It is driven by a musical score by Mala and Paul Gladstone-Reid and combines innovative animation techniques and emerging technology with some of the most ground breaking creative talents in the industry, under the creative guidance of Andy Serkis and The Imaginarium.
- In Akala's Odyssey we follow UK Hip Hop artist and writer AKALA on a personal journey from the ruins of Delphi to the tiny Island of Ithaca as he explores the world of Homer and The Odyssey and writes a new song inspired by the ancient work. He discovers how this epic poem became the cornerstone of Western literature and how his own experiences as an artist have been impacted by a 3,000-year-old classic. He looks at how language can create national identity and how The Odyssey endures today as the inspiration for so much that followed it.
