The true story of the woman who became Rwanda’s head of state for less than a day.

A stunning script. I had never before heard of Agathe. Now I will never forget her.’ (Stephen Tobolowsky)

A plane crash takes the life of an African president and ignites a killing spree that the world will later recognize as the 1994 genocide against Tutsi people in Rwanda.

The person who was next in line for the country’s presidency — and who was, in fact, the country’s head of state for less than a day — was Agathe Uwilingiyimana, a Chemistry professor and an advocate for women and girls’ education.

A beacon for our times, Agathe’s silenced story and brave spirit is captured in this multi-award winning play.
