What kinds of documentation of performances exist - both of
colonial and indigenous theatre and how may this range of
documentation have affected how we read theatre history? African
performers, dramatists and directors have far out-paced
chroniclers, critics and librarians, and as a result, those
preparing accounts of theatre movements and performance on the
continent have very limited resources to work on. African Theatre 9
addresses the topic of theatre history and, more specifically,
looks at a selection of theatrical movements and events between
1850 and 1950. Drawing on such archived resources as are available,
this volume seeks to recover moments from the past by bringing
together papers that explore the complexity of the relationships
that characterised a century of contact, conflict, compromise and
creativity. The findings provide essential background to
understanding contemporary developments in African theatre, and
draw attention to the importance of documenting performances.
