THE UFOT CYCLE
Why A Cycle?
Because one play could not hold the whole inheritance.
The Ufot Family Cycle makes space for a Nigerian-American family on the American stage, allowing them to be seen across time.
It insists that immigrant families are not side stories. They are history makers, myth carriers, and architects of what this country is still becoming.
Across the cycle, what was once hidden in one play can return in another — deepened, transformed, and finally named.
How to Enter the Cycle
Each play in The Ufot Family Cycle stands alone, with its own world, wound, and revelation.
The plays can be read or seen individually, but together they form a generational map of one Nigerian-American family moving through migration, inheritance, rupture, repair, and joy.
Enter anywhere, then follow the family deeper.
