The XYZ Show
Artform: Puppetry
The XYZ Show is a ground-breaking television programme at the crossroads of political commentary and entertainment. Each week, 15-minute episodes are aired on Kenya's number one station, Citizen TV. The show uses humour and satire to promote values such as good governance, anti-corruption, accountability, transparency, human rights and national cohesion. Inspired by programmes like the British Spitting Image, The XYZ Show takes the shape of a mock newscast featuring Kenya's leading politicians and popular figures as latex puppets. They have created a new forum for social and political debate in Kenya and are sparking discussion among the shows viewers.
