- Description
- Trying to keep up with what is going on in South African theatre today is an endlessly renewing process. The word ‘foray’ has associations of brief incursions into foreign territory. It’s an almost hesitant word, a venture into unexplored terrain. This hesitation feels apt in the sense that (at the time of writing), any description of a pre-Covid theatre is bound to feel strange. The landscape has shifted, and nobody is quite sure how things will look in a year from now. Nevertheless, this is a rich compendium of relatively recent theatre, as seen from within the country and also from the vantage of a global perspective. Almost all of the essays are drawn from a 2017 conference held in Brussels at the Université Libre de Bruxelles, called: ‘New Stage Idioms: South African Drama, Theatre and Performance in the Twenty-first Century.’Although the tone remains scholarly, the inclusion of different kinds of writers – not only academics but activists, playwrights and journalists – prevents the work from becoming overly dry.
