Mashirika is a pioneering professional company in Rwanda. We are constantly exploring new ways to develop, to learn and to create exciting theatre. We bring together passions, fashions, moods, moves, sounds, networks, anger, forms, styles, challenges, engagement, words, rhythms, visions and visuals in our theatre. And we are always ready to add new things to the mix.

Mashirika is a performing group that was started by students of music, dance and drama at Makerere University Kampala in July 1997, with Hope Azeda as a leading founder member, who later moved to Rwanda in 1998.
