Why I’m Attending My First Theatre Festival: The Enina Experience


enina theatre festival

Ever since a close friend couldn’t stop raving about his experience at last year’s Enina Theatre Festival, it’s been on my mind. He spoke with such enthusiasm about the vibrant carnival walks, electrifying performances, and the joy of being immersed in the rich Edo culture. As someone who’s never attended a theatre festival before, his stories ignited a curiosity in me—a desire to see it all firsthand.


But it wasn’t just the spectacle that captivated me. My friend also shared how the masterclasses at the festival provided him with invaluable insights into the world of theatre and culture. It wasn’t just an event; it was an enriching experience that left a lasting impact on him, both personally and creatively.


This year, with the festival’s theme, "Roots and Routes: Celebrating Cultural Roots and Journeys That Shape Us - The Edo Story," I’ve made up my mind—I won’t just be hearing stories this time; I’ll be living them. I’m excited to dive into the workshops, where I’ll have the chance to learn from industry experts and explore the deep cultural narratives that define Edo.


For me, the Enina Theatre Festival 2024 isn’t just another cultural event; it’s an opportunity to discover my roots, connect with like-minded individuals, and celebrate our shared journey—one that honors our past and inspires the future. I’m ready to experience the magic, creativity, and history that this festival brings to life.
