There's something deeply comforting about hearing people speak their mother tongue with pride—especially on stage, where every word carries rhythm, emotion, and belonging. It reminds you of your roots and how powerful it is to laugh, cry, and connect in the language that raised you. Even if you don't understand every word, the feeling always lands.
This month, Muthamaki Media is gifting Kikuyu speakers (and anyone who loves a good story) with a brand-new romantic comedy, straight from the creators of Wandia Ngurie, Thimithia Kabiru, Nyama Hiu, and Hutia Horere. It's messy, it's romantic, it's absolutely hilarious and, it's all in Kikuyu.
With Kikuyu being the most widely spoken native language in Kenya, this play is more than just entertainment. It's a celebration of identity. A reminder that your mother tongue isn't just for home conversations and WhatsApp voice notes; it's strong enough to carry full-blown love stories and chaotic village drama to the stage.
Whether you understand every word or catch the vibe through tone and timing, this show welcomes everyone. The timings and prices are as follows:
📍 Alliance Française, Utalii Lane
🗓️ April 26th & 27th | 3PM & 6PM shows both days
