The Kamiriithu theater in Limuru, Kenya, has been celebrated as a powerful experiment in African decolonization. In 1976, local workers and community members came together to build an open-air theater and stage a play that quickly attracted huge audiences from across the country and beyond. Writ

The Kamiriithu Community Educational and Cultural Centre (KCECC) arose from a call from the community. It was formed when the villagers sought Ngugi wa Thiong’o to teach them.
