The Kenya International Theatre Festival (Kitfest) has evolved from a local showcase into a global stage. This year’s edition, marking its tenth anniversary, attracted over 50 performances from 22 countries, a scale that affirms festival director Kevin Kahuro’s conviction that Kenya is no longer a peripheral player in the global theatre movement.
With an open call for entries from across the world, Kitfest was inundated with applications, far more than it could host.
