Chachambo: Taking Flight (2023)

4 August 2023 – 6 August 2023 @ Victoria Theatre

Synopsis

A tribute to the past, a moving story of forgiveness, the fate of an entertainment club rests solely on the shoulders of a visually-impaired girl. From battling against revolting employees who challenge her at every turn, to discovering her mother’s struggle to raise her to stand tall, this music theatre piece written & performed by persons with disabilities reminds us to always have hope and to never stop dreaming.
