Ntswaki’s Adventure is a puppet show with large marionettes standing about almost 1m high. The story plays off in a rural village where the sangoma decides a young boy will be the next in line for her position. He goes on a quest to decide his destiny and help save his village from ecological desaster. The show is full of adventure and humour while conveying the message of earth care and that often the sollutions to the most complex problems are very simple.
