Between the Two Worlds
This is a story about an unnamed French / Senegalese-Ghanaian Muslim woman who at age 19 rediscovers her faith and tries to balance between the two worlds – the seemingly futile life she lives on earth and the spiritual world of the unseen realm she now believes in. The monodrama is avant garde and poetic- as strange as the new situation she finds herself in when newly trying to navigate between deen (the spiritual) and dunya (life on earth).
This is a story of her struggle to balance ‘between the two worlds’.
