Hereforfear:collective presents the world première of Hyena’s Trail

Opening: June 21, 2025 | Preview: June 20

Runs: June 20 – 272025

Hyena’s Trail, written by Kijo Gatama, is a haunting poetic drama rooted in Eastern African mythology.

We meet Nyakaria, a daughter returning from her studies in Canada, only to find that her old home no longer fits. In her unease, she wakes something ancient — the cackling man-eater itself, scavenging for remnants of a big kill.

This project features a vibrant team of emerging and established BIPOC artists. We hope you’ll join us for a night of magic, mythology, and fierce storytelling.
