Kevin Kimani didn’t build the Kenya International Theatre Festival (KIT Fest) all by himself. But he is the guy who first came up with the idea. He also held on tight to it when sceptics advised him to give it up, saying it would never work.
But now that the KIT Fest is in its fourth edition, Kimani can take credit for sticking to his conviction that the festival deserved to continue and thrive. This year he is doing things a bit differently from the past when the festival took place concurrently with the more academic theatre conference.
