TEATER LUMA X BLACK GIRL RISING

Black Girl Rising is a mind-blowing one-woman show about the hidden health effects of racism. Told through a mash-up of stand-up comedy, theatrical storytelling and spoken word poetry backed by hand-drawn animation, this show explodes stereotypes with laughs, tears and everything in between. With plenty of audience engagement and no white privilege to hide behind, if you don’t see this show yourself, you’ll definitely hear about it. 

Black Girl Rising was awarded ‘Best New Work by an Emerging Artist’ at Melbourne Fringe 2024, The ‘Emerging Artist’ Award at Perth FringeWorld Festival 2025, and the ‘Sustainability (Peace)’ Award at the Adelaide Fringe Festival 2025.

"An engrossing, informative, kick-ass piece told by a fantastic performer."

"A brilliant show … It is poignant, funny, provocative and vital theatre."

"Bold, confident, important … You will not be disappointed."
