Back to Basics has got to be one of the edgiest and experimental theatre companies in Kenya. That is why we had such high expectations of their return to the stage earlier this month. Needless to say, some B2B fans were stymied to find the Jain Bhavan Temple where ‘Breathe III’ was happening, but the public persevered and fans came out in record numbers.
As with the performances of Breathe I and Breathe II, Mbeki Mwalimu assembled a series of quirky true Kenyan stories, collected and narrated by journalist Jackson Biko, to create Breathe III. Mbeki both curated the stories and directed the show.
