About Us
The 5th Wheel Conservatoire, founded in 2019, is dedicated to enriching the Kenyan Arts landscape with a long-term vision of establishing an academy specializing in performing arts—focusing on Theater, Music Production, and Film Technology. The company actively engages in various artistic endeavors, participating in events like the Kenya National Drama Festival, Community Theatre, Traveling Theater, and Film Production to establish a strong foundation. Through these efforts, the aim is to mobilize resources for the eventual establishment of a school.
The company has achieved notable success in Kenyan festivals, earning recognition and awards. The name "5th Wheel Conservatoire" draws inspiration from the concept of a 5th wheel on a traditional motor car, symbolizing a solution in challenging times. Similarly, the conservatoire aspires to bring fresh energy to the stagnant Kenyan Art space, aiming to revive the power of Pre Colonial Kenyan Theatre by dispelling the notion that artistic talent is purely innate and promoting the idea that art can be effectively taught in a school setting.

OUR PROJECTS:
Unbroken Ties, a 2019 theatrical play by 5th Wheel Conservatoire, delves into the poignant narrative of young lovers grappling with the challenges posed by religious differences. Centered around a Muslim man and a Christian woman, the play artfully explores the complexities of their relationship, navigating societal expectations, and ultimately confronting the possibility of separation. This emotionally charged production sheds light on the resilience of love in the face of cultural and religious divides, offering a compelling reflection on the power of understanding, tolerance, and unbreakable bonds.
"Marty is Not Sorry" and "Voiceless," powerful films by 5th Wheel Conservatoire, confront the urgent issue of Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV). These impactful productions serve as vehicles for awareness and sensitization, shedding light on the harsh realities of SGBV. Through compelling narratives, the films aim to provoke thought, encourage dialogue, and advocate for change, ultimately contributing to the collective efforts to address and eradicate this pressing societal issue.
