Inside 20,000 square feet of vacant downtown office space, site-specific juggernaut En Garde Arts presents a transportive new work asking: who has the right to tell a story and why?
Red Hills invites audiences to travel from an NGO presentation by David Zosia, American author and self-proclaimed expert on Rwandan history, to the fields of Rwanda to meet God’s Blessing, a Rwandan Tour guide. Travel back to 1994 and experience these two men from vastly different cultures as they relive the events of their first meeting during the genocide of the Tutsis in Rwanda.
A collaboration between similarly diverse playwrights, Ugandan Asiimwe Deborah Kawe and American Sean Christopher Lewis, Red Hills invites you to bear witness as two men face long-buried memories, confront ghosts of their pasts, and question who owns history.
