Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine: A
Missionary Position
Thursday, July 19 & July 20, 2012 (two nights only)
A multimedia solo work for the stage written and
performed by Ugandan American artist Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine, A Missionary
Position is a searing response to the rampant homophobia now gripping
Uganda. The noted Los Angeles theater artist incorporates raw video footage and
still photography—gathered over recent months on the front lines of the African
nation’s LGBT movement—and layers this documentary material with his portrayal
of riveting figures drawn from in-person interviews. A Missionary Position
reveals Uganda's LGBT community as seen through the eyes of a Ugandan
government official, a transgender sex worker, a gay priest, and a lesbian
activist, and creates a complex investigation of the burgeoning resistance to
state-supported oppression.
A Missionary Position is the follow-up
to Mwine’s internationally heralded one-man show Biro, the "New
York Times critics pick" about the eponymous HIV-positive Ugandan who
illegally entered the United States to seek treatment. Additionally, he has
contributed footage to “Call Me Kuchu”, a documenatry film on the life and
death of David Kato, Uganda's first openly gay man, which won the Teddy Award
for Best Documentary Film at 2012 Berlin Int’l Film Festival.
A Missionary Position premiered in
June 2012 at the Roy and Edna Disney/CalArts Theater in Los Angeles.
