Photo Exhibition: Out of His Life by Patricia Esteve, Apr. 18-22 2018 @ Kenya Cultural Centre

About
How is life after suicide? This is a documentary project, which gathers the experiences of people in Kenya who have tried to commit suicide or who have lost a loved one to suicide. Using photography I collect their testimonies throughout the country, on the stigma surrounding suicide as well as the social and legal injustice they face. According to the Kenyan Law Nº 226 of the Penal Code: ‘‘Anyone who attempts to commit suicide is guilty of a crime’’; the sentence being two years in prison or a fine or both. With this work I want to contribute to overcome the stigma associated with suicide and bring about a shift from the punitive treatment to psychosocial care, as well as to end the legal consideration of suicide as a criminal activity.

First Edition of Micro Theatre Festival, Apr. 12 2018 @ Kenya National Theatre


Date: April 12, 2018
Venue: Kenya National Theatre
Time: 6 and 8.30 pm

Art in miniature: is micro-performance the way forward?

The Kenya National Theatre, the Embassy of Spain in Kenya and the Cultural Routes Foundation have the pleasure of inviting you for the First Edition of Micro Theatre Festival.

Two dates, two hours and a half, 12 performances and FREE ADMISSION.

Don’t miss that chance! Be interactive! Watch in details!

Micro-performance, as the name suggests, is not about thinking big. Often put on in tiny spaces (think quaint cafes and living rooms) to small audiences (from two or three to two dozen), the allure of micro-performance is about quick and nimble productions unconstrained by large-scale planning, and free from the pressure to sell hundreds of seats night upon night.
