We Need New Names

by NoViolet Bulawayo, in a new adaptation by Mufaro Makubika | directed by Monique Touko

Paradise. Home of 10-year-old Darling and her friends: four children on the edge of innocence.

A playground overflowing with mischief and games where they imagine countries a luxurious life away from theirs in Mugabe’s Zimbabwe.

But when Darling moves to Michigan, the Western world she encounters as a teenager is far from the American utopia of her dreams…

Based on the novel by the first Black African woman and first Zimbabwean to be Booker Prize-shortlisted, this defiant coming-of-age story is full of exuberance, humour and humanity.
