Hewa Rwanda - Letter to the absent

Part of Next Wave 2026

Brooklyn Academy of Music

Oct 7 - 11, 2026

Dorcy Rugamba’s Hewa Rwanda is a profoundly moving music theater tribute to his family, who were killed in their home on the first day of Rwanda’s Genocide against the Tutsi. He first performed passages from his memoir Hewa Rwanda–Letter to the absent, during his inaugural international arts festival, Kigali Triennial (2024), with the creative collaboration of Senegalese multi-instrumentalist and singer Majnun.
