We use theatre to raise awareness of mental health issues and to promote positive mental health practices.
Mental health is often overlooked and stigmatized. However, mental health problems are real and they can have a significant impact on people’s lives. Mental health – often shrouded in silence and misunderstanding. But at Bashosho Talents, we believe it’s time to shatter the stigma and spark a conversation. Through the power of theatre, we’re breaking down barriers and raising awareness about mental health issues in a way that’s both powerful and relatable. Our captivating plays and sketches tackle these challenges head-on, challenging misconceptions and sparking open dialogue within the community.

Develop essential self-care practices – for building emotional resilience.
Seek help without fear or shame – because everyone deserves support.

Our reach extends beyond individuals. We actively collaborate with community leaders and organizations, fostering a network of support and resources. Together, we’re building a future where mental health is openly discussed, respected, and addressed with compassion.
