| Benoir Birunji |
| Originally from Uganda, Benoir Birunji is an inherently gifted new generation writer, actor and linguist whose illuminative productions exhibit hip weavings of traditional storytelling and avant garde theatre. Benoir's work employs satire, charismatic stage presence and a mastery of words to penetrate the divisive sociopolitical concepts of tribe, gender, race and class. Birunji’s career has taken him from an appearance at The Kennedy Center to tours of India, Europe, the United States and Canada. His multicultural cast of characters has always been a reflection of his diverse audiences and issues tackled. His first production Song of Katabazi dealt with the tribal politics that precipitated the Rwanda genocide. His next play Prudence explored the issues of Western wealth, and charity to Africa. Green Paper, a stand up theatre style comedy chronicles an African’s struggle for sanity in the crazy urban jungles of the Diasporas. Currently Birunji is working on The Inauguration, a political satire about the grim state of African politics. In addition he is developing a couple of screenplays for Bantu Films, Africa’s premiere film production company. |
