About
A bank robbery has been staged but the getaway car fails to pick up the robbers who then commandeer a taxi. In a twist of fate, the taxi is involved in an accident. And in the ensuing confusion, the money is stolen by unknown people.

Working in cahoots with a crooked cop (played by Janet Kirina), the thugs suspect a taxi driver (played by Nick Ndeda) stole their loot and pursue him only to get sucked into his mysterious life involving two complicated neighbours (played Maina Olwenya and Xavier Nato) and his two very uniquely different wives (played by Nice Githinji and Hellena Waithera).

In the spiraling chaos of deceit, false identity and manic cover-up that ensues, an overzealous police constable (Umi Rajab) fresh from Kiganjo on her first assignment jumps into the frying pan bringing hilarity to new levels.

This is a high voltage roller coaster of fun from start to finish. You cannot miss this fast paced comedy performed by Kenya’s highly experienced superstar cast directed by Veronica Waceke and Mbeki Mwalimu. The show is stage managed by Mwajuma Belle and produced by Abuto Eliud

Tickets on sale at Alliance Francaise reception, Asanand Music Shop on Moi avenue, 8to8 Mall next to Jazz Bar.

About
William, Evanson and Ray are 3 artists using very different media. They represent the wide diversity of the upcoming Kenyan scene.
William is a conceptual artist who works with ink on paper. He’s presenting the installation of old scrap books “Hamsini-Fifty” shown at the Goethe Institute last year. As usual his work is the reflection of an evolving society who he analyses and categorizes like an anthropologist.
Ray is a new young photographer who creates images of a great depth. In this series of works, he depicts Kenyan and South African women with the weight of the world that surrounds them. Although he is new on the Kenyan art scene, he has already won several prizes-World Bank, Nikon- and a scholarship in South Africa. Thanks to his perseverance he has managed to transform his hard working childhood into a successful story.
Evanson on the other hand is an artist of the “Old generation” who has managed to evolve and diversify. The works chosen for this exhibition are drawings of everyday life in Nairobi with a trivial sense of humor.

All 3 have in common their passion for work and have chosen art as a way of life. They have a humble approach that gives them strengths, power and independence.
