KiddingPitchKamogelo NongSouth Africa

Kidding started as a school production. It offers a fresh take on the challenges and complexities of growing up in modern South Africa. Set against the backdrop of high schools, the play delves into the unspoken traumas and guilt that teenagers face in the era of social media. Through dance, music, and text, the Market Theatre Lab alumni, mentored by Stella Dlangalala, bring to life the untold (and tragic) stories of young people struggling to navigate the pressures of school, friendship, and the digital world.
