WHY HIVOS AID IS NOT DEAD, NOT EVEN IN ZIMBABWE

Publicado el | 26/03/2009

The latest play in Harare’s ‘Theatre in the Park’ theatre house is called ‘Dependence’ and the topic is the extended family and diaspora relationships. It is played by a group young actors in a very energetic but also rather soapy and "Theater van de Lach" style. It’s not going deep, it is real comedy and the playwright wanted obviously to really entertain the audience. And he succeeded 100%, the public went really not only mad after the play but during the play they were shouting, crying and laughing. It is probably a very Zimbabwean style and play, it touches upon many political and cultural issues, but I missed real characters and real drama. But that could be my problem… Doesn’t take away that Hivos’ (and NORAD) partner Rooftop Promotions with this - number I dont know how many - play is showing that an independient theatre sector in Zimbabwe has been developed and that again a new and virbant platform for expression is created. And again, I would say, this is a very concrete achievement of Hivos’ support!
