Renown Ugandan fashion brand, Kkoolo, presents ‘Breaking Androgynous’, a first of its kind dance-fashion-theatre show to be held this Saturday (22nd September, 2018) in Jinja town at Kimaka Amber Court, kicking off at 4pm. The venue which is famous for its old architectural designs, used to be a popular nightclub in the 1970’s, and once hosted the Queen of England in the 1960s. Tickets are available at just 10,000 and VIP 50,000 Uganda shillings.

“Breaking androgynous” is a storytelling show which will mix different forms of art to explore gender, culture and identity as young people engage in co-productive activities that encourage social inclusion and community cohesion with an emphasis on the history, bio-stories, patterns, images and games from the culture of Uganda in the early times of chiefdoms and kingdoms.

The fashion night will feature stories of young people talking about gender, culture and identity. It is a conclusion of Kkoolo’s months long activities; a training camp, where different fashion designers were hosted, and auditions of actors, models and dancers.

The event seeks to promote innovation, creativity and inclusiveness as well as youth empowerment. For the last three months, Kkoolo has held a number of trainings and workshops for tailors, Illustrator’s, designers and dance choreographers as part of the post-production activities of the event.
