We must stand against the tide of conduct unbecoming to the civil society in all places An experienced civil servant, Folorunso Folowosele writes with confident authority as well as patriotic alarm about the crimps and cracks in one of the most crucial organs of state governance-the civil service; the flaws, the frivolities and the pompous antics of its members and players; how the arrogance of power undermines efficiency and fuels pettiness and maliciousness; and of the courageous resistance of one of its untainted officers. Pomposity and Power exposes the rot and the corruption within the...

China is the main focus of this volume, and articles consider the way it is using -soft power- in its extensive engagement with South Africa, and, through its support for theatre festivals, with Lusophone countries in Africa. China's involvement with the construction of theatres, opera houses and cultural facilities as part of its foreign aid programmes in such countries as Algeria, Cameroon, Mauritius, Ghana and Senegal, provides the background to the playscript from this volume, Blickakte (Acts of Viewing) by Daniel Schauf, Philipp Scholtysik & Jonas Alsleben, that explores Chinese impact...

ISBN: 9780852555965 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Women have struggled to be heard in the world of modern African theatre. Traditionally they had secure roles as dancers, singers and storytellers, but as theatre became professionalised and commercialised, control increasingly lay with the literate elites. This volume is testimony to the scope of their work as playwrights, musicians and actors from the Algerian diaspora to the new South Africa.

African Theatre 9: Histories 1850-1950
ISBN: 9781847010148 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 199 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. African performers, dramatists and directors have far out-paced chroniclers, critics and librarians, and as a result, those preparing accounts of theatre movements and performance on the continent have very limited resources to work on. African Theatre 9 addresses the topic of theatre history and, more specifically, looks at a selection of theatrical movements and events between 1850 and 1950. Drawing on such archived resources as are available, this volume seeks to recover moments from the past by bringing together papers that explore the complexity of the relationships that characterised a...

Once Upon Four Robbers
ISBN: 9789781291791 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 124 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The distinguished Nigerian playwright directed the first performance of this play at the Arts Theatre at the University of Ibadan. Osofisan's incisive vision is put at the service of oppressed humanity. His over-riding theme is that the machinery of oppression in human society is created by man, but man is also capable of demolishing it. The production includes Yoruba songs and incantations, and a glossary provides an English translation - as a guide for other directors to substitute appropriate dirges.

Drawing on expertise from across the African continent this collection reflects the realities for women working and making theatre: how Egyptian director Dalia Basiouny has documented the "Tahrir Stories" of the Egyptian Revolution; how in Uganda women have used various theatrical devices, such as oral poetry, to seek common ground in a rural-urban inter-generational theatre project; and the use of physical theatre to examine disavowed memory in South Africa.
