In an extraordinary display of determination and artistic passion, four courageous attempters are on the cusp of shattering the Guinness World Record for the longest marathon theatre performance. Graciano Enwerem (Sir Grrraciano), Tamara Dogubo, TheGift Chikere, and Doubra Agwana have been performing non-stop for over 120 hours, with their sights set on reaching 170 hours by October 19, 2024.
Dubbed “The Eclipse Event” or “Theatrethon,” this monumental undertaking seeks to harness the power of theatre to spark social change and advocacy. The team’s artvocacy-centered plays like TheGift Chikere’s SILENCE: Death In Rehearsal, Tamara Dogubo’s Colour Me Mad, Graciano Enwerem’s Reap-off Rip-off, and AS In tackle pressing issues: Sickle Cell awareness, the impact of Political Rivalry, Gender-based Violence in marriages, and mental health awareness.
Despite facing significant challenges, including last-minute withdrawals of promised support and financial strain, the team remains resolute. “Whatever I set my mind to do, I don’t go back against it,” Sir Graciano emphasized. “We’re not just breaking a record; we’re igniting a movement. We are just broken people, trying to break a record to be heard.”
Theatrethon has garnered significant attention through social media campaigns, behind-the-scenes content, and street publicities. The team invites global supporters to join their mission, advocating for critical social causes and promoting awareness.
