Theatre Festival

Theatre is one of the best community mobilization tools. It looks at how people live, then mirrors their actions, attitudes, emotions and behaviours on stage to stimulate discussion and action. The community is then given the opportunity to tell their problems, which feeds back into the play.”

The theme of the Festival is 'Voices of Dignity'. This includes many issues, such as, Human Security, Right to Life Borders, Discrimination, Displacement, Disappearance Prison Stories, Fundamentalisms…
We hope the week of justice will provide the space for reflection, dialogue, awareness-building as act as catalyst to create change.
