“Who killed Aunt Caroline?” is a mystery drama. The Endicott Family are the kind of folks who live next door; but soon you realize one of these genial people has committed calculating murder! Aunt Caroline deserved to die. But who could have killed her? None of the family seems like a murderer, but there’s nobody else, nobody with the slightest motive for poisoning Aunt Caroline, nobody who—but wait, maybe there was! You’re kept guessing to the very end.

Triple Bill 2011 – Dance Performances

The Platform Triple Bill began in 2007 as the Kunja Dance Theatre’s way of sharing three new works in a row under the artistic direction of James Mweu.

In the Future… – a piece by seven artists blending acrobatics, dance and everyday movements; the dancers take us on a journey of discovering new places, spaces and possibilities while reflecting on the past moments, snaps and gazing into the future. It is part of a boys’ project, which exposes and informs young people on arts, quality performing practices and allows encounters with professionals, with the aim of training, educating and uplifting new talent.

Luna – a poetic piece on seasons, where paths traverse, cross and dancers negotiate… During this performance, the Kunja dancers are joined by dancers from Dance Montage – Dance Forum Nairobi (DF-N) training programme held at The GoDown Arts Centre .

Duet – a work in progress… Just wait and see!
