'I Speak My Father': Kilifi theatre brings raw fatherhood stories to the stage in Kilifi
A collection of theatre pieces from an open call titled I Speak My Father explores the various forms of fatherhood experiences.
Set to go on stage on Father’s Day, June 21, at the Terrace Arts Place in Kilifi, it is produced by actor Gitura-Kamau of Fly on the Wall Productions.
The one-day event will feature spoken-word, poetry, and musical pieces centred on fatherhood.
It is a public storytelling and reflection campaign that came from Tea With My Father, which is designed to reframe how we see, remember, and speak about fatherhood. It is a digital movement and a lived experience, inviting people to articulate the often unspoken truths about their fathers, such as the love, the absence, the contradictions, and the inheritance.
