Since its inception in the 1950’s, athletics has grown into a nationalist sport- a symbol of national unity and pride. Kenyan runners are loved and admired worldwide. However, little is known about them as people and what they go through to achieve such great heights. In order to tell the story of the athletes, The Theatre Company of Kenya has developed, in close consultation with the actual runners, a brand new performance called ‘Kimbia’, which literally means, “run”. ‘Kimbia’ is an exciting, innovative and collaborative theatrical show about the life and times of Kenyan athletes. The five plays that make up ‘Kimbia’ are: The Race by Cajetan Boy When the Door Opens by Joseph Murungu Just a Man by Edward Nthiga Doping by Ogutu Muraya Usiguskong (which means ‘Don’t Look Back’) by Joseph Gichinga Directed by Liz Enane and Mido Dembede. Original music composed and arranged by the cast and directors Movement and dance choreography by Joseph Gichinga All actors are, just like the runners, Kenyan talent, professionally trained at facilities of The Theatre Company around the country.
