WHAT IS OUR WORK ABOUT?
The group uses arts to effect social change and awareness. We show vices and follies in community through our performances exposing ethnic differences, sexuality, corruption and religious differences.

The group has done this through the monthly performances it carries out on the streets of Kampala city, and its suburbs. Indeed the performances have caught the eye of the public to such an extent that it has led to the growth of street theatre in Uganda.
