Contributors examine how international theatre festivals have been
organised and how they have affected the evolution of sustainable
theatre. During the last fifty years, large sums of money, huge
resources of labour and vast amounts of creative energy have been
invested in international theatre festivals in Africa. Under
banners such as 'Reclaiming the African Past' and 'African
Renaissance', the festival participants have used the performing
arts to address a variety of topical issues and to confront images
embedded by a century of patronising colonial expositions. The
themes indicate the desire to take history by the forelock,
challenge perceptions and transform communities. Volume Editor:
