WAAFRIKA 123
Written by Nick Hadikwa Mwaluko
Directed by Lisa Evans
May 6 – June 2, 2018
Live Oak Theater, Berkeley
1992. A rural village outside Nairobi, Kenya. Awino navigates hir transition against the constructs of tradition and tribe.When famine strikes, Awino’s “choices” are blamed. To regain equilibrium – Awino must be “circumcised” so as to act like a “real woman.” Will Awino sacrifice hir truth for hir community? Or will the village itself change?
“Waafrika, skillfully crafted and chillingly paced, may be the first play addressing FGM together with issues related to transgender and lesbian love. It amplifies our understanding and opens our hearts.”
-Dr. Dagmar Schultz, producer and director of Audre Lorde – The Berlin Years 1984 -1992.
Ages: 18 years or older
