On 16 November 2025, on a memorably sunny yet cold Sunday morning, I scuttled through the empty, uncharacteristically quiet streets of Nairobi on my way to the Kenya National Theatre (KNT). It was there, I had been told, that an audacious experiment in theatre – Story za Thuita – would begin.
Outside the KNT building, a buzzing crowd of about fifty had already gathered – one that would quadruple as the day progressed. Soon, Thuita Mwangi, the solo star of the show, lean and exuberant, emerged from the tent wearing a patterned ankara kimono over a plain black t-shirt and beige pants. And to complete this ensemble was a long, dark, beaded necklace and several bracelets. He cut the image of a postmodern African revolutionary, if you ever met one.
