2011/12 Workshops

Kinjeketile

by Ebrahim N. Hussein; directed by Joshua Williams
In 1904, by uniting the tribes of Tanganyika against the German colonial regime, the oracle Kinjeketile Ngwale touches off the Maji Maji Rebellion. But how far can faith and courage take the fledgling insurgency in the face of overwhelming force? Can sanctified water, maji in Swahili, keep Kinjeketile’s followers safe from German bullets? First performance outside of Africa!
