Fatboy speaks to writer, editor and media consultant, Lulu Jemimah who plays Christine in the play, Tropical Fish.
Tebere Arts Foundation presents Tropical Fish, a solo performance written by Doreen Baingana.
Tropical Fish traces Christine, a young “campus girl’s” discovery of the power of her sexuality in an affair with an older white businessman in Kampala. What starts off as a fun escape from her ordinary life and dull future becomes a painful exploration of her worth as a woman, a black woman.
The play, Tropical Fish is an adaptation of an award-winning short story under the same title and by the same author, brought to you with the support of Tebere Arts Foundation’s principal partners; namely the STICHTING DOEN Foundation, The Sundance Institute and the incredible support of Ndere Cultural Centre.
This production is part of Tebere Arts Foundation’s Third Emerging Artists’ Intensive Lab Program.
