The crazinisT artisT studiO Scholarship: Temporal Relocation Program offers comprehensive support to uplift and empower marginalized young individuals, including queer persons, women, and other underprivileged groups.

Each year, a maximum of three mentees are selected through a rigorous process that prioritizes commitment, vision, acute risk and willingness to stay at TTO for the program duration.

perfocraZe International Artist Residency

It is a guerrilla performance disrupting the misleading narratives, popular voices and images of the Ghanaian democracy and justice system that censors the struggles of the queer community and other marginalised groups. Va-Bene would seize the closure of the International Federation of Theatre Research Conference (Accra, Ghana 2023) as an intervention to open new conversation on the "yet to be passed law" against LGBTQIA+ persons including the prosecution of artists, advocates, performers, journalists, theatre groups and organisations who may create any content in solidarity or empathise with the queer community. If we all remain silent we would be counted as the majority in favour of such an inhuman Bill.

We are speaking, we are crying, we are screaming, we are dying, yet no one hears us, only the spirits of our ancestors.
