This December, BAP Productions and House of Oduduwa will premiere “QUEEN MOREMI THE MUSICAL”. An authentic African super hero story, that brings to life the rich and colorful ancestral Yoruba heritage through the deeds of the Amazon, Queen Moremi -using music, dance and costumes.
Daughter to one of Ife’s bravest hunter-warriors, Lukugba, and Princess Olunbe of Offa; Moremi was raised to question injustice and stand up for the oppressed no matter who they were or where they came from. When Love came calling, she answered but there is always a price to pay. The story of Queen Moremi, the courageous woman is pivotal to the history and liberation of the entire Yoruba race.
