A Free Poetry Theatre Showcase in Abuja this November

The 3rd Abuja International Theatre Festival & Awards (ABITFA 2025) invites audiences to an unforgettable evening of rhythm, expression, and stagecraft as it presents A Poetry Theatre Showcase, a celebration of art in its most human form.

This one-of-a-kind showcase brings together some of Nigeria’s finest poetic voices — Ola Ibadan, Oko Owoicho, Poet Hassy, Keesh Rowland, and a host of others — in an immersive blend of spoken word and theatrical storytelling.

Guided by the festival’s theme, INNOVIDCLUSION — Innovation, Identity, and Inclusion — the showcase pushes boundaries, explores belonging, and redefines how poetry can inhabit the stage.

Expect an evening of truth, rhythm, and raw emotion — where the stage becomes a heartbeat and every word demands to be felt.
