A home for celebration, performance, and community in Northern Nigeria.

Space 2000 was founded in 1994 as a theatre company performing across Northern Nigeria. The work was what's called "theatre for development" — plays made with communities, not just for them, on subjects the communities themselves named. Health, education, civic life, peacebuilding.
Years later, what was a travelling company found a permanent home. Today, that home is a working venue with an indoor theatre, an outdoor amphitheatre, and gardens that host everything from weddings to dance rehearsals to children's storytelling. The plays are still made. The community we performed for still gathers here. The hire fees from celebrations help support the youth programmes. It all holds together.
