What are the stakes of cultural production in a time of war? How is
artistic expression prone to manipulation by the state and
international humanitarian organizations? In the charged political
terrain of post-genocide Rwanda, post-civil war Uganda, and recent
violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Laura Edmondson
explores performance through the lens of empire. Instead of
celebrating theatre productions as expression of cultural agency
and resilience, Edmondson traces their humanitarian imperatives to
a place where global narratives of violence take precedence over
local traditions and audiences. Working at the intersection of
performance and trauma, Edmondson reveals how artists and cultural
workers manipulate narratives in the shadow of empire and how
empire, in turn, infiltrates creative capacities.
