The multifaceted Ngartia takes to the stage once again with Dai Verse, after a near ten-year hiatus from poetry. Ngartia is a writer, actor and director based in Nairobi, Kenya. He started out in the performance poetry space and has found his way into Theatre, Film and TV. His work explores different ideas and experimental forms, mostly related to identity and historical placement. Ngartia co-founded the stage productions based on Kenyan History, Too Early For Birds. He continues to study expression through verse, fiction, and nonfiction through various media. 

Returning to his performance poetry roots, Ngartia’s long-awaited show promises a riveted spoken word show featuring pieces spanning the length of his career, weaved together by live music.

This artistic reintroduction, in varied formats, covers a range of themes. It will be performed in English, Sheng’, and Kiswahili, assisted by the musical stylings of Chemutai Sage, Vini Ngugi (TLVSN), Timothy Arinaitwe (TLVSN), M³, Septad and Sho. 

The show is directed by the talented Nyokabi Macharia, of Bog Mouth (Netflix), Country Queen (Netflix) and County 49 (Showmax) fame, who is an actor, director, and the producer behind Shorts From Africa. Producing the show are Shiko Ngure, and Ciru Njoroge.

There are two Dai Verse shows on April 21st 2024. The first show is from 2 pm and the second from 6 pm. You can buy tickets here.
