The Baulkham Hills African Ladies Troupe May 9, 2013

Featuring the personal stories of four African refugee women living in Sydney, The Baulkham Hills African Troupe is playing at Riverside Theatres from Thursday 9 to Saturday 18 May.

Yarrie grew up in a camp in Guinea. She is doing her HSC. Aminata is from Sierra Leone. She is an ambassador for the UNHCR. Big Mama Rosemary is from Kenya. She is a community leader and she knows how to live. Yordy was a child soldier. Now she’s the mother of four amazing kids. They are one half of The Baulkham Hills African Ladies Troupe and they would like to welcome you into their worlds.

These marvelous women turn their extraordinary and sometimes harrowing stories of survival into a joyous theatre of humanity. With the help of four other African women – singers and dancers and actors – the ladies are going to take this great opportunity to be who they want, say what they want, and become as amazing as they can. This is how they celebrate a new beginning in a land of refuge.
