The Tugen Players
A group of players at Lake Baringo, Kenya acting out scenes of traditional Tugen life.

June 2006

This group of enterprising men and women from Kampi ya Samaki on the shores of Lake Baringo have departed from the usual presentation of cultural dance.

Instead they have written and produced pieces in the Kalenjin language depicting scenes from their tribal life. A narrator explains what is going on and the half hour drama involving witch doctors, rain makers and other interesting characters includes a wedding dance. The  players are beautifully costumed and colourful, and the show works best in daylight.

The players have no theatre of their own but will perform a half hour show for a group at Robert's Camp on request. (the fee is voluntary but should be a minimum of about 3500 ksh)

We feel that they fully deserve your support!
