When Ruva experiences street harassment, her entire world is thrown into chaos and turmoil. Raging against the system and a society who won’t take her seriously, Ruva turns into a Beast, searching for a way to empower herself and fight the creatures that lurk at night.

Part spoken word, part outcry, inspired by lived experiences and intertwined with Zimbabwean beliefs about spirituality and magical realism, BEASTS explores the impact of street harassment, and how we’re supposed to feel safe when those sworn to protect us admit they can’t.

Age Guidance: 16+
