JOIN US AT DCAC ON MAY 29TH 8:00PM EST Bela is a genre-blending one-woman show that uses the fictional podcast Faltar as a lens to examine what Black women are taught to be—and who we might become when we stop performing for others. Kutabela “Bela” Mvula is investigating the mysterious death of her best friend, Mikwa Jefferson. But this isn’t just a whodunnit. It’s a story about people-pleasing, perfectionism, and the pressure to be “the good one.” Through characters that are hilarious, heartbreaking, and deeply familiar, Bela invites the audience into a layered journey of grief, ego death, and self-discovery. From a villain-era bootcamp instructor to a grown woman still performing helplessness for male validation, the show exposes the stories Black women are told—and the ones we tell ourselves to survive. Created and performed by performer Renee Namakau Ombaba in collaboration with Director Krystal R. Ali , Bela is sharp, funny, and deeply moving. If you’ve ever struggled with boundaries, chased approval, or tried to be everything to everyone—this is for you. Bela is a one-woman show that explores sensitive and emotionally intense topics. While the performance uses humor, satire, and storytelling to guide the audience through these themes, some material may be triggering for certain viewers. DCAC is ADA-accessible. For additional accessibility needs or questions, please contact DCAC. DCAC Members are offered a 20% discount. Please contact DCAC or info@reneenamakauombaba.com to receive the code.

This panel features Sergei Chapnin , Sarah Makin, Ben Weaver , and moderator Ilya Ponomarev in a discussion on the role Russian Orthodoxy could play in restoring democracy after regime change, how to secure freedom of conscience in a multi-confessional Russia, and the realities of religious persecution both inside Russia and in occupied Ukrainian territories. Panelists bring expertise in theology, human rights, and policy to examine the challenges and possibilities for a more open, pluralistic future. The conversation will also address whether Church reform is possible—and if so, how it might contribute to healing and rebuilding in a post-authoritarian Russia. Sergei Chapnin is a Russian Orthodox Christian journalist, contemporary Christian art curator, and former senior official within the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC). He is preparing to present his forthcoming report to the United Nations documenting religious persecution in Russia from 2022 to 2025. During his service as executive editor of the Journal of the Moscow Patriarchate, Chapnin established himself as an expert on Orthodox culture while simultaneously developing a prophetic voice against the concerning alliance between Church and State. Following his dismissal in 2015 for his principled stance against this entanglement, he has emerged as a leading Orthodox public figure warning against the spiritual dangers of politicized faith, particularly under Patriarch Kirill's leadership and amid Russia's nationalist and militarist trajectory. Now residing in New York City, Chapnin serves as the director of communications at the Orthodox Christian Studies Center at Fordham University since 2022, while continuing his ministry through writing and speaking internationally, bearing witness to the perilous consequences of state-aligned religion, the crisis of moral and spiritual leadership in contemporary Russian Orthodoxy, and the vital role of sacred art in preserving the integrity of Christian witness in the face of authoritarianism. Sarah Makin is a human rights advocate, filmmaker, and former U.S. government official with deep expertise in international religious freedom. She served in the first Trump administration as Deputy Assistant to President Trump, Senior Director on the National Security Council, and the President’s Senior Advisor on International Religious Freedom. She worked on a range of policy initiatives related to religious liberty, civil society, and state-federal engagement. Makin is also a producer of Faith Under Siege, a documentary that investigates the persecution of religious communities in Russian-occupied Ukraine. Her work in Ukraine builds on a broader career dedicated to defending religious minorities, countering authoritarian repression, and advancing human rights. She continues to collaborate with international partners, civil society leaders, and faith communities to promote religious freedom and democratic resilience worldwide.
