AFRONAUTS
CO-PRESENTED BY CIVIC THEATRE & DUBLIN FRINGE FESTIVAL
1964. America and Russia are racing for the moon.
Enter Zambia.
Edward Mukuka Nkoloso has a plan: an aluminium rocket, one girl, two cats and a missionary. His mission? To send Africa’s first astronauts into the cosmos.
Wake The Beast and Circus Zambia bring this extraordinary true story to life with breathtaking acrobatics and irresistible heart. A high-flying fusion of circus, theatre and space adventure about daring to dream against the odds, and who gets to reach for the stars.
This is the story of the greatest space mission you’ve never heard of.
For audiences 5+
Supported by: the Embassy of Ireland, Zambia, & Underbelly.
