BHINQA WOMEN`S FESTIVAL

Binqa: our words, our stories

The Joburg theatre honours international women’s month by gracing the stage with the voices of women. Women have unique and important ways of telling the stories of a society. Women tell the inside stories between people and the stories missed by the history books.

Binqa is a festival of theatre plays by a new generation of young and brave story tellers and theatre makers telling their own stories in their own words.

Uku Binqa or the act or tying a wrap around one’s waist is symbolic in Africa and calls upon those times when the women must tie themselves together, towards each other and to rise.
