Onaola's February Stage

'Piece Off' by Crown Troupe of Africa



'That of circumcision is a hard appointment.' So says a popular Kikuyu proverb.

Some call it circumcision, others call it mutilation Crown Troupe calls PIECE OFF.

This is simply the  age long practice of female circumcision which is today Female Genital Mutilation (FMG). It comprises all procedures that involve partial or total removal of the external female genitalia, or other injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons (WHO). There are no proven health benefits to FGM and it is recognised internationally as a human rights violation.
'PIECE OFF' explores the ritual removal of some or all of the external female genitalia in Africa, the myth behind it and the social impact of the practice on the girl/woman and by extension, the man. 

Female circumcision otherwise known as Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) comes under scrutiny in this work by the Segun Adefila led Crown Troupe of Africa titled 'PIECE OFF' expressed in mixed media art. Currently scheduled for the 6th of February, 2015, Onaola's blog promises to keep you apprised of the venue for the show.
