A Homegrown Season production by Warimi Karogo.

Set in the dark, claustrophobic confines of a hand-dug mine in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the play follows the harrowing journey of two child miners, Manny and Tyo, brothers who become trapped underground.

As they struggle to find a way out, their bond and resilience are tested against the backdrop of exploitative mining practices rooted in colonialism. Mine/Ors is a powerful exploration of the adultification of Congolese children, brotherhood, love, hope and the quest for dignity amidst systemic oppression.
