The past two decades have witnessed the emergence of a lively
Portuguese-language theatre festival circuit, where Brazilian,
Portuguese, and Lusophone African artists come together and jointly
negotiate the cultural dynamics of an emerging transnational
community grounded in a common language and shared colonial
histories. Christina S. McMahon trains a sharp ethnographic eye on
African performances staged at these festivals, revealing how
festival productions and their aftermath can generate new
perspectives on race and gender, colonial trauma, and the economics
of cultural globalization. Featuring in-depth analysis of
performances and artist interviews from Cape Verde, Angola,
Guinea-Bissau, and Mozambique - countries with vibrant theatre
practices and vexed colonial pasts - the book reveals how
international festivals can be valuable platforms for new
intercultural dialogues and diplomatic possibilities. Recasting
Transnationalism through Performance offers a fresh look at the
role of theatre in navigating new postcolonial realities.
