Zusammenfassung:"This open volume showcases the plethora of styles, approaches and perspectives that populate the contemporary field of African theatre studies, with contributions from Ethiopia, Malawi, Nigeria, South Africa and Ghana. Contributors engage a variety of performance forms, ranging from investigations into radical dramatic and popular musical performances, through 'street theatre' (festivals and masquerade shows) and pop culture, to applied theatre, dance, audience, cultural performances and folktales. Articles address African American and African cultural dialogue; choreographic study; the carnivalization of indigenous African festivals; the stigmatization of disability; the performance of nationality; orality and African performance aesthetics. Highlighted in this volume is the detective play The Inspector and the Hero by Femi Osofisan, one of Africa's leading playwrights. The play has until now only been published in Nigeria." --Page 4 of cover
