TOSHANISHA - The New Normals A Brazilian/Kenyan production
July 21, 2021
Am I who I really thought I was? How do I continue ‘being’ in this new world order where everyone has been forced to approach living from a different perspective?" Toshanisha – The New Normals is a digital play that follows seven Kenyans in various regions, one Congolese in a refugee camp and one Brazilian in São Paulo as they struggle to adjust their lives during the Covid 19 pandemic. The play will be streamed live and there will be a special session at the Stephanie Feury Studio Theatre – 5636 Melrose Ave., Los Angeles, CA 90038.
The play had its first run in June and the outcome of the Brazilian and Kenyan theater companies partnership and now is coming back as part of the international shows in the HFF.
