Play Reading: Room of Lost Names at Goethe-Institut, Library
‘Room of Lost Names’ tells the story of a young woman who finds herself in a mysterious place. She soon realises she is dead, and that she has arrived in purgatory, a realm ruled by two opposing gods found in the Luhya myth of creation. Gumali is the god of darkness, mischief, evil, whilst Omuwanga is the god of light, goodness, purity. To leave purgatory, the dead young woman must return her name to the gods. But no matter how hard she tries, she cannot remember her name. To help her, the gods break protocol and lead her back into her life to retrace the circumstances of her death. What will she find? What will we discover? 
Venue: Goethe-Institut, Library
Time: From 6pm (also available on Facebook Live)

Dates: Ongoing until August 3, 2023
