This play was one the better plays that I had seen. Also it was my first play that was performed by college students. It starts off with a whole lot off drum banging and then leads into what I was guessing as oracles. Not sure when this was taking place but the story revolved around a girl named Oya. She was the fastest runner at the beginning of the story and was even offer a chance to run for one of the major colleges. Her mother ends up dying and she turns down the scholarship. After a while she began to have romantic relations with a guy name Shango who then left her to jion the Army.
Throughout the storty it seems to be kind of like a love triangle. Oya never really sure what she wants and gets mocked by the other girls in town. While Shango is in the military away, she gets involved with Oiy Gun, but when Shango returns she fools around with him. It goes back and forth quite a bit in the story. Never really found out what the motif of the story really was. Thought that the students did one hell of a job on the play though. Especially the guys playing the instruments on the side of the stage.
This was a good blog post about the play. Your first photo you can see all the men that have love for Oya and how shes truly in love with Shango in the second photo.
