Kuntu Repertory Theatre’s mission is to examine Africana
life from a sociopolitical, historical perspective and to combine the salient features of theatre that educate, entertain, and move both performers and audiences to personal growth and social action. Kuntu exists to create, preserve, and present the wonderful artistic dreams, legacies, and history of Africans throughout the Diaspora. Kuntu is a word from the Bantu family of languages of the people of Central, South and West Africa. It reflects the cultural tradition of Africa in which the artistic creations in dance/movement, drama, music, visual arts, and words are entwined as a single unit. The aesthetic and philosophical base of Kuntu drama flows from the mores, rituals, and traditions of West Africa, Nubian, Kush, and Ancient Kemet (Egypt).
