Roommates 576 - Call and Response

In several African traditions, stories are passed down orally from one master storyteller to another. The master tells one part of the story, and the student repeats it back over and over until they have learned it by heart. This practice is "Call and Response".

There's also a musical pattern "call and response" that appears in multiple types of music, from folk to R&B to pop.




Anansi is just telling a story. It's up to the audience to interpret it.




Erik belongs to Leroux and Webber.
Anansi (and his spider child) is a mythological character who belongs to everyone and no one. Some elements of design taken from the recent Gaiman version, but seriously, he's Anansi.
