Wakio Mzenge has been a busy woman over the last few weeks and months, creating works that only got disclosed last month at the Goethe Institute.

That’s where she also announced the formation of her new production company, BTM, short for Beyond the Mainstream. Its first production was the play Ujumbe, which she told BDLife shortly before the show’s opening that it was just a ‘small’ two-hander, almost as if it were an incidental feature of the new company’s launch rather than the centrepiece of the evening’s programme.
