Written and directed by NTN's Artistic Director, Nelago Shilongoh, the play will tour the Erongo and Khomas regions from 12 June to 20 July 2024. Funded by One Ocean Hubandco-producedwith theUniversityofNamibia (UNAM),“ǂAoni//Aes”is more than just a theatrical production. It serves as a call for reflection and action on issues affecting indigenous communities today Theplayshedslight on the ǂAonin's historical

Namibian coastline, and theirongoingstrugglesfor inclusion in decisionmaking processes related to ocean governance and landmanagement. Premiere: 12 June 2024, at Walvis Bay Municipal Hall and Narraville CommunityHall–OtherPerformances: 13 June in Swakopmund at Coastal High School, 14 JuneinUtuseb,21Juneat Katutura Community Hall,and19-20Julyatthe NTN Auditorium in Windhoek–Tickets: Free for all shows; tickets for the 1920 July performances available from 1 July 2024,attheNTNoffices.
