🎭 About the Play
“Death and the Future is a one act play where the community have been summoned to the funeral of the future. Questions are asked: who has killed the future and who should face judgement as a result…”
Developed from the research stories of the Kagaga and Osiri communities, this performance is a bold and thought-provoking exploration of hope, loss, accountability, and resilience.
