In a mission to not only entertain but also educate, Nyakagwa Mahaga Performing Arts implements the aforementioned with Creek, a new stage play having its showcase on April 5th and 6th at Braeside Theatre, Muthangari.
Adeti Mahaga, Nyakagwa Mahaga’s founder and Creek writer, sits down and shares more about her new production.
With a spark igniting in 2016 while on campus, Adeti envisioned Nyakagwa Mahaga as a theatre outfit grounded in resilience set to mentor theatre practitioners, aside from the unethical, transactional shortcuts by some in joining a stage production. In 2021, the company was founded backed up by credible mentors like Ben Tekee, a production manager from the on-set and Creek’s director.
Climate change is adversely affecting the Earth’s face, thus an issue that needs urgent attention. People with albinism need to be part of this agenda because climate change isn’t sparing them either. CREEK, therefore, tells a story about them from a point of acceptance and resilience. They are willing to go to the farthest lengths to protect their CREEK.” Adeti shares
Adeti bases the above on her outfit’s ethos of inclusion and education in theatre. Creek seeks to spread awareness to the albino community about the health conditions of climate change, ranging from skin cancer to eye conditions.
Creek seeks to blend this insightful topic with an African touch in its songs and dances, emphasizing another of the company’s goals: cultural impact on stage.
Equipped with 20 actors, Creek promises a theatrical ride that will leave you questioning your stance on a couple of themes and, of course, entertained.
