"Most United Knowledgeble Artists" in short M.U.K.A. founded in 1995 as a theatre project with street children in Johannesburg/South Africa will come to Berlin later this year.
The young artists come from Hillbrow, a troubled suburb of the megacity Johannesburg, where they are engaged in quarter management and a number of development projects aimed at showing a different life away from violence, drug abuse, prostitution and discrimination.
A group of young artists from M.U.K.A. will be taking part in "Kinderkulturkarawane 2010". In June 2010, our NGO is planning performances and workshops with M.U.K.A. in secondary schools and youth clubs in Berlin and Brandenburg.
As hosts we have to pay for their stay, lodging and food included, and for each performance as well. We are very eager to do that, because the group members are excellent performers. Back in 2006 we had already the opportunity to admire their artistic skills during a performance.
We plan to organise a touristic programme for M.U.K.A. with the focus on German history.
We have a lot of money to raise and will do so by applying to German institutions where we can get a substantial part of it, but we need your support too. Thank you very much in advance.
