Feel the show.
Live the story.
Afrobeats musicals made in Lagos. African stories built to travel.
The sound
You know the feeling. The beat drops and your shoulders move before you even decide to.
Lagos gave the world that feeling and now the whole world moves to it. We bring it to the stage with live music and movement and stories rooted in African life.
The music gets you in the room. The story stays with you.
Stories with a beat. Stories with something to say.
At Vibra the songs carry the story and every note is played live. You will sing along and you might cry.
YE!
An Afrobeats Musical
Jemi and Rire want to win a Lagos talent show. Their families want something safer for them. Somewhere between the bright lights and the family table they have to decide whose dream they are living.
Written and directed by Kelvinmary Ndukwe.

Many were seeing live theatre for the first time. Some came for the music and found themselves in the story. Then they came back with their friends.
That is what happens when a sound you already love opens the door to something new.

Made in Lagos. Made to travel.
It has never been this cool to be African.
From Lagos to London to Johannesburg a new generation is making art with its whole chest and the world is paying attention. This is the urban African renaissance and we are here to tell its stories.
We start with the music and the history and the humour and the contradictions that shape how we live. Then we do the work. Our productions bring people into the room. Our Cultural IP Lab gives each story a life beyond one production through touring and licensing and education.
