War is constantly changing its methodology, its weapons, its strategies - but some things never change.Taking the long view of how different ancient Afrikan wars have scarred the continent, the performance exhorts us to look deep into our own lives and heed the warnings.”

“FLY! Festival of Black Women's Theatre is honoured to welcome Somali Women Speak to share their moving, unforgettable avowal War Wounds produced by Rissa Mohabir. Women get wounded in war. Children get wounded in war. Men get wounded in war. And the wounds are scorched into the body, seared into the mind. They are often hidden from shame and embarrassment. But the pain and trauma remain.”

““Viciously audacious novices to electric noise we have crafted a merciless assemblage of leering disdain, Erotomania, Genocidal Lament, infanticide, calculated Matricide, funeral dodgers, dystopian angst and surreptitious worshipping at the altar of Bastet to flavour this record. We won’t be making you a sandwich motherfuckers” – Madonnatron”

“Conjuring up the mood of 1930s Paris, fused with flavours of Eastern Europe and the energy of a campfire jam session, The Schmoozenbergs’ uplifting music will put a smile on your face and a bounce in your step. With two guitars, violin and double bass, they bring irresistible rhythms, lyrical melodies and joyful improvisation to create an upbeat and heart- warming sound.”
