Organisers of the Taruwa Festival of Performing Arts in Nigeria [TAF] have announced that the second edition of the festival will hold in June 2014.
The edition will be a four-day cocktail of rich events telling the Nigerian and African story through music, spoken word, literature, dance, fashion, a workshop and the stage production of a book by an ‘interesting’ female writer.
According to the Creative Director of Taruwa Festival, Bee Azubike, the event will be a fulfilling festival for the audience.
‘This year, we plan to give our audience an even better experience through remarkable stories,’ she said. ‘Fulfilment, for us, comes from seeing the smiles on the faces of our audience after experiencing a stage production, a music performance or any of our shows and we got a lot of that, including rave reviews, at last year’s edition of the festival.
The festival will hold from Wednesday, June 4 to Saturday, June 7, 2014 at TerraKulture, Tiamiyu Savage, Victoria Island, Lagos.
TARUWA (a Hausa word meaning ‘gathering’) is an event created by Gbagyichild Entertainment.
It is a gathering of artistic and intellectual minds, and creates a platform for artistes to express themselves in a comfortable and intellectual setting.
On a typical TARUWA evening, there are poets, vocalists, instrumentalists, comedians and spoken word artistes performing.
