Nordic Black Theatre presents MATATA at Gamle Munch // Poverty Slaps, But We Slap Back Harder 11.-16. februar

Performance at Gamle MunchTøyengata 53 Poverty Slaps, But We Slap Back Harder is a raw, honest celebration of survival, where hope refuses to die, and humor becomes a weapon against despair. It’s about people who build worlds out of nothing, about the courage to dance even when the music stops. This play captures the fight for survival, success, and identity—showing that even in the darkest corners, dreams can shine bright. Listen to Freddy Milanya and Assistant director Terese Mungai-Foyn talk about the play at NRK P2, Studio2 from 15:17. The performance is in English and will be performed at the old Munch Museum.Address: Tøyengata 53 11th of February, Tuesday 7:00pm (SOLD OUT)12th of February, Wednesday 7:00pm13th of February, Thursday 7:00pm14th of February, Friday 7:00pm (SOLD OUT)15th of February, Saturday 7:00pm16th of February, Sunday 3:00pm Foto: Ingrid Fadnes On stageFredrick MilanyaFestus Mwenda Richard Mathu Marcus Ojiambo Collins Milanya Gordon OdhiamboUriel SeriOlve FlakneKhalid Salih Director: Cliff A.
