THE LAST PERFORMANCE – AFTER 49 YEARS …

The 18th October at 6pm – 100 friends of Globetree came to see the very last performance produced by Globetheatre/Globetree. The very first tour was 1970 with the play Phantasy by 12-year old children in Sweden. Touring with drama performances – is such a big part of our lives… now over…
The last tour … 49 years on the road… it’s difficult to find the words… how we feel…
One day we will find the words – and share with you.

THE BOOK ABOUT DANDORA – BLESSING OR CURSE?

After the last performance – after the applause – the photographer Thord Nilsson presented his book Dandora – blessing or curse? It’s a photo book – the short texts are in Swedish. For pictures, please look into thordnilssonfoto.
It’s about the everyday life in Dandora on top of and next to the huge dumpsite. Thord has joined several of Globetree’s study tours to Kenya and was been deeply touched meeting children and adults in Dandora. He also experienced how music, dance, drama and art inspire people to carry on – not give up. The book will later be translated into English. If you want the book – the photos speak for themselves – contact Thord: info@thordnilsson.se

FINAL TOUR IN SWEDEN WITH MY LIFE
18 SEPTEMBER – 18 OKTOBER 2019

Globetheatre/Globetree final theatre production was with the play My Life performed by children and youth from Dandora, a place outside Nairobi where you find the biggest dumpsite of Africa. My Life is the children’s own story – their struggle for survival and how they keep the spirit up and move on despite unimaginable challenges. My Life has been on tour in Sweden with different actors since 2010. The final tour was four weeks from the very south of Sweden to the very north. – Don’t stop touring My Life – the performance touches the heart of everyone! Well, we are getting old. Beyond 70 years and we have a big assignment at the UN in Nairobi. We simply have to stop!

Working with Farsta has been very special. They have supported our work in Dandora for many years.
