Into Africa and Wole Soyinka: Crash Course Theater #49
It’s difficult to talk about African theater thanks to colonialism. Pre-colonial Africa was home to many spoken languages, and not nearly as many written languages. The chain of oral tradition was broken by colonial policies, and so many pre-colonial traditions are lost. Today, we’re going to talk about some of the dance and theater traditions of Africa, and look at post-colonial theater across the continent.
