BASAL'YA BAZOBA - CHILD SORCERY

Name: Basal'ya Bazoba - Child Sorcery
Location: Kinshasa - Congo-Kinshasa - Africa

Basal'ya bazoba is a music theatre project that will take place between March 2009 and April 2010. The performance will give attention to the mechanism that leads to accusation of witchery of children to a broad audience. One hundred performances will be played in 24 districts of Kinshasa. About 40.000 people will visit the project. A single-cd will be released by a local hiphop group to create conscience about the issue of child witches and to promote the theatre tour.

The project is a co-production of Theatre Embassy (Amsterdam) with partner organisation K-Mu Théâtre (Kinshasa), the Belgian-Congolese NGO Oser la Vie and Compagnie Dakar (Amsterdam)
