Raw hardcore magic

The Crick Crack Club returns to the British Museum for yet another inspiring experience of storytelling. From Jan Blake, this intriguing performance traces the story of Life and Death, complete with power struggles, audacious challenges, magical battles, rage, revenge and banishment, Blake shares tales of creation and of extinction, and the reasons behind both.

What is the story?

In the beginning there was nothing except Death, his wife and his only daughter. Death created a vast ocean of mud for his family to live in. Woyengi, goddess of creation and fate, was repulsed by the filth. Sitting at a great wooden table in a barren field, she set about the business of creating living beings... including the powerful Oboyngba - healer, magician & rebellious spirit.
