Everyone has had those questions lingering, What is going to happen when I die? What will I find? Who will I find? All these oblivious of myths and beliefs.
Alacoque Ntome’s I AM brings a whole other twist to it. Just when you think it’s over, you find yourself diving deeper to the life you left behind, finding another meaning to the time spent below, and most of all, a reconcile.
The aforementioned is the backbone of Kito (Gadwill Odhiambo) and Nia’s (Pollyann Gacheri) spiritual adventure.
With nothing earthly to hold them back from understanding one another’s perspective on their relationship below, they unbox their imperfections. At first, it’s a blame game channeled by raw honesty. Nia looks back at the pressure forced on her as a woman and how Kito played right into it with his eagerness to have a child oblivious to Nia’s wants. Kito looks back at Nia’s obsession to everything working as she wants them to, oblivious of Kito’s preferences.
Produced by Boniface Kanyuira, I AM’s second act takes you to a realm of reminiscence as Kito and Nia slowly accept both of their flaws and find mutual understanding, culminating in a firm and comforting grip between the two as they embrace their new form and new life.
A blend of Augmented and Virtual Reality, I AM bridges the gap and dares to view theatre in a different lense coupled with stunning lighting techniques and background score.
The piece took it’s time to get one familiar with the spiritual realm, although this took one’s mind wandering away from the story from time to time.
Gadwill Odhiambo and Pollyann Gacheri gave a heartfelt performance, their chemistry emoting through every line delivered.
