This is a collaborative project between SEP (Special Education Professionals) Kenya and Bold Theatre Kenya that blends theatre with social impact, aiming to promote inclusion by raising awareness about individuals living with Cerebral Palsy in Kenyan communities.
Njogu’s story is one of courage and resilience, confronting societal barriers and personal challenges associated with Cerebral Palsy. However, Inside Njogu is not solely about struggles; it is a celebration of the human spirit, imbued with joy, humour, romance, and powerful moments that will resonate long after the performance.
SYNOPSIS
Njogu, a 36-year-old man, has spent much of his life confined to the proximity of his bedroom. He is a determined individual striving to find acceptance and love within society despite the stigma and personal obstacles associated with cerebral palsy. Seeking distraction, he ventures onto a dating site and falls in love with a beautiful, ambitious, and outgoing woman who immediately asks for a date, unaware that Njogu is confined to his wheelchair for life.
Inside Njogu has been showcased in the following locations: Braeburn School Gitanga Road, International School of Kenya, Rusinga Schools, St. John’s Catholic Church Korogocho and St. Joseph’s Church in Kahawa Sukari. Shows are planned for September and October.
