KigeziNdoto: A Hook for Dreams by Mũmbi Kaigwa
In early 2005, I was invited to write a new script for performance at The Wereld Muziek Theatre Festival. In 2006 KigeziNdoto, the product of three-months writing and rehearsal, toured Holland, Belgium and Italy.
The show is a musical performance celebrating African heroes and providing an African perspective on Kenyan history.
KigeziNdoto: A Hook for Dreams is the second part of a trilogy, which includes The Voice of a Dream and They Call Me Wanjikũ. The performers examine the dreams of East Africans through music, dance and story, looking at pre- and post-colonial history and the lessons we can learn today from our past.
