Looking back to 2017 when we started working on the project, we could not find archival material related to the Lux and hardly any footage, so what started as a documentary became a historical and cultural search into our heritage,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>ALSO READ |&nbsp;<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news24.com\/news24\/community-newspaper\/peoples-post\/luxurama-theatre-documentary-keeps-cape-towns-history-alive-20240805\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Luxurama Theatre documentary keeps Cape Town\u2019s history alive<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are proud to capture the interviews of the people who performed at the Lux and cut their teeth there as well as people who worked there and patrons who attended the shows. We feel that it is an important story to tell in honour of our heritage and the stories we carry in our hearts that were not deemed newsworthy at the time when it occurred.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-stories\">Stories<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Mad Little Badger is a video and film production company founded by Liesl and her husband, Nicki, operating from Cape Town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Blockquote\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_b8b2a43e\">\n<div class=\"text\">\u201cI feel it is important to tell these stories and to capture them and have (them) kept safely in national archives for all to see. Children and grandchildren of artists who have already passed will be able to hear and see the stories of their ancestors.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Where they come from and why they need to know their history. The importance of their lives and the impact they left on others. These accounts will be able to clarify stories and carry on to many generations,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With their crowdfunding campaign nearing its end, they are appealing for locals to share in the historical significance by donating to the cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI would like to appeal to everyone who has ever attended, performed or raised funds at the Luxurama to <a href=\"https:\/\/thundafund.africa\/campaign\/BC29A11ACEBDE03973FA\" target=\"_blank\">please donate towards the project<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI humbly ask you to see past the old dilapidated building that stands in Park Road, Wynberg and to look into your hearts and help us keep the memories alive,\u201d she says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI asked everyone to donate something that could help us finish this project so that we can bring it back to the people and share our history, our heritage and our culture for the world to see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-donations\">Donations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt really pains me to hear how wonderfully people speak about the Luxurama, but hardly anyone has been willing to donate. I don\u2019t know why but I would truly appreciate it if you ever experienced the Lux that you please assist in whichever way you can.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After they complete filming the project, they hope to get Nicki to Australia to film an integral interview with Warren Ludski. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe worked for the Cape Herald and has a wonderful archive sitting in Australia that we need to capture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Custom\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_6226daff\">\n<div class=\"custom\">\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\"
