Haki Ya Nani?

Haki ya Nani? is a two character drama set in the aftermath of violent street protest in Nairobi. In a cold interrogation room, Inspector Wanjiru, a weary police officer questions Lucy, a defiant activist arrested during the chaos. What begins as a formal interrogation unravels into a tense intimate confrontation between two women separated by class, age, and uniform - butbound by shared pain and survival. As truths surface, Lucy learns that Wanjiru was on duty during the protest where her brother was killed and Wanjiru is forced to confront her complicity in a broken system. Through anger, confession and reluctant empathy, both women discover that they are not enemies, but reflections of each other - victims of the same corrupt structure that pits citizen against servant. By the end, one must decide whether to obey the system or defy it. and both must face what freedom truly costs.Haki ya Nani will be staged at Kenya National Theatre, Cheche Gallery on the 9th and 10th of May.

Konpa Night with Credor Dancer

Konpa Night is a celebration of Konpa, the smooth and soulful partner dance and music culture that comes from Haiti and carries a distinctly Caribbean warmth, rhythm, and sensuality. Konpa is about connection, musicality, and flow, creating a dance experience that feels both deeply social and personal. Konpa, also spelled Compas, emerged in Haiti in the 1950s, most famously shaped by Nemours Jean-Baptiste, who helped formalize it as a modern Haitian dance music style. It grew out of earlier Haitian musical traditions and was influenced by Caribbean rhythms, jazz, and merengue, but developed its own unmistakable identity through steady rhythm, flowing melodies, and a strong, elegant pulse made for partner dancing. Over time, Konpa became one of Haiti’s most iconic cultural exports, spreading across the Caribbean, Africa, Europe, and North America.

An Evening with the Masters Xabiso Wili | Slim Shaka


An Evening with the Masters brings together two defining voices of African spoken word for a one-night-only experience in Nairobi. Headlining the night is Xabiso Vili, South Africa’s three-time National Slam Champion and the 2022 World Poetry Slam Champion. Renowned for his fearless, genre-defying performances, Vili’s work exists in the tension between rage and tenderness - unfiltered, unapologetic, and deeply human. Sharing the stage is Slim Shaka, one of Kenya’s most respected spoken word artists. A Slam Africa Champion and finalist at the 2023 World Poetry Slam Championships, Slim Shaka is a foundational voice in Nairobi’s slam movement. His performances—layered in multiple languages and sharp political insight - have earned him legendary status across East Africa and beyond. This is more than a show. It’s a meeting of craft, culture, and conviction. A space where words become experience.
