Copperbelt

Eden has left her wealthy family in Zambia to build an independent life for herself in Toronto, where she works as a junior operations manager at a prestigious international mining firm. But when her estranged father falls ill, she is forced to return home to the Copperbelt and confront the very problems she has been trying to escape. While she can change her name, can she truly break free from the hold her family has over her personal and professional future?

Natasha Mumba’s world premiere takes its audience from The Big Smoke to Zambia’s Copperbelt unraveling the secrets and power struggles within the Kasuba family, as Eden grapples with the tension between her personal ambitions, her family’s expectations, and the steep price some must pay for success.
