INTWASA Extra roared into life yesterday with those who missed out on the September festival being given another opportunity to catch a glimpse of what happens in terms of the arts during the beginning of spring in Bulawayo.

The four-day arts extravaganza, running under the theme “Celebrating a New Era”, will end on New Year’s Eve.

Yesterday there was a Comedy Night at Bulawayo Theatre.

One of the highlights of this year’s Intwasa Arts Festival was Umkhathi Theatre’s performance of the history inspired Ihloka play. Written by Thabani Hillary Moyo and directed by Matesu Dube, the play is back by popular demand at the Bulawayo Theatre and will be shown today at 6PM.

Tomorrow will be a busy day as it will start off with an arts & Crafts Market at the National Gallery of Zimbabwe in Bulawayo at 10AM and at 2PM, the same venue will host an open MIC poetry. Just down the road at the Bulawayo Theatre, at the same time, a play will be shown called Walk with me.

On New Year’s Eve, the Women, Wine &Words, a major highlight at Intwasa, will feature talented singer and guitarist Tariro Negitare, rising stars Thandy Dhlana-Jele, and poets Xtreme, Lady Profound and Harare-based poet Black Pearl. The show will be held at the Bulawayo Theatre.
