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.
