ABOUT

Birth of Laduma was the name of the show that toured around the Creighton area. The show played with the themes of gender in/equality and really brought to the foreground how Girls can do the same as Boys, and Boys can do the same as Girls. The madness of the show centred around a soccer ball; and from here the sheer ridiculousness of play ensued. Children, teachers and even nuns were screaming with laughter when watching the show!
