"This homage to heritage is then underscored with ‘aunties’ all dancing in their own swagger to pulsating African drums"
Originally debuting at Edinburgh Fringe Digital 2021 as part of the LUDALA Collection, the poetic narrative captures a son's wonder as he witnesses the majesty of his matriarch manifesting her crown: ‘a traditional head tie’. Getting ready in all her stance and style, her child looks on in awe, watching her tuck, fold and gather as if conjuring a vortex as she weaves and wields her majestic crown.
A ritual that many Nigerian children are blessed to witness.
