An eclectic ensemble performance, 'Dear Children, Sincerely' takes audiences in Abu Dhabi on a moving journey through the colonial and post-colonial histories of Rwanda and Sri Lanka — two nations oceans apart yet connected by parallel experiences.

Directed by acclaimed playwright Ruwanthie de Chickera, this cross-cultural production is a collaboration between Stages Theatre Group (Sri Lanka) and Mashirika (Rwanda).

First premiered at the Ubumuntu Arts Festival in 2015, the work draws on interviews with elders born in the 1930s who lived through colonization and its aftermath.

Their voices and memories are transformed into stories on stage — at once intimate, powerful, and deeply human.
