A new dance drama — Mental Explosion — is set to open at Harare’s Theatre in the Park for a short run beginning on July 3 to 5, 2024.
All shows will start at 6pm and admission is just US$3.
Mental Explosion is directed by Patrick Tembo and produced by Peter Churu and Jameel O’hucks.
For those not in the know, the dance-drama is inspired by the youth who have so many questions and are finding little or no answers.
The world they inhabit is full of challenges. Facing serious battles against drugs and other substances, economic deprivation, dysfunctional family units, polarized political functions, the youth are in desperate need of healing.
Devastated by mental health challenges, music and dance become the only palatable opium.
According to producers, Mental Explosion “is an poignant exploration of today’s urban conundrum and how urban popular culture seeks to enlighten and illuminate this new world order. Can the responsible authorities sit and pay attention as the young people speak?”
