CURRENT PRODUCTION>EVERY YEAR, EVERY DAY, I AM WALKING Premiered at the African Festival of Children and Youth Theatre in Yaounde, Cameroon in November 2006 and performed ever since. It traces the story of a young girl who loses family and home brutally and irrevocably and is forced to journey to a new place through many dangers and uncertainties. Uplifting theatre that celebrates the ability of human beings to heal and regain a sense of dignity and identity through the power of the imagination.
With Jennie Reznek and Faniswa Yisa and music by Neo Muyanga.
