Upcoming Events

Don't Worry!

FourthMan's Theatre Company will on Sunday 6th July, 2008 stage a play by Ola kris titled “Hakuna Matata” which is Swahili for 'Don't Worry'. According to Ola Kris, the title came about from the theatre group's desire to have an African acceptance for the play especially when they begin a tour of other African states. It is his hope that someday, Swahili or Yoruba will become global languages just as French or English. The play itself has a central theme set upon finding the knowledge of truth and it is in this knowledge that man can be truly free.  The play will be held at Agip Hall, Muson center, Lagos.
The organisers are being supported by Daystar, L.A.B.I.S.I Heritage, ZMirage, Grace Family Church, Minds & Brains Ltd. There will be two showings at 3pm and 5pm and the gate fee is =N=2,000.

Goethe-Institut Lagos and The Crown Troupe of Africa will premiere a performance titled 'Omo Dumping on Saturday 12th July, 2008 at 4pm. Uncontrolled urbanisation and the demise of rural life set the background for this multi dimensional performance by the well-known contemporary dance ensemble. 'Omo Dumping  meaning poor people in the Lagos ghettos who live on leftovers dumped on the refuse heap sites  is a fusion of dance, installation and photography. These visual elements will be accompanied by poetry, as well as live and recorded music  in order to create a performance that transcends all areas of arts. This multidimensional approach of  the artists reflect the multi-faceted reality of the mega city. 'Omo Dumping' addresses a serious topic, but not without a hint of humour.
