This interdisciplinary presentation tells the story of the bitter fight to save the land that is now Zimbabwe from colonial conquest. Led by the female spirit medium Nehanda and her male counterpart Kavugi, it is the story not only of the physical and political struggle, but their internal struggles. This play is co-written with Zimbabwean-Canadian author Rainos Mutamba.
