Performing Christ; South African Protest Theatre and the Theological Dramatic Theory of Hans Urs von Balthasar: Studies in Theology, Society and Culture

Autor Marthinus Havenga
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 aug 2021
In the latter part of the twentieth century, against the backdrop of the Sharpeville Massacre and the Soweto Uprising, theatre became a central means of artistic resistance in apartheid South Africa. One of the most significant plays from this time was Woza Albert!, which was created and staged by the actor-duo Percy Mtwa and Mbongeni Ngema, with the help and creative input of the renowned theatre-maker and political activist, Barney Simon. What made this protest play so powerful and provocative was the fact that it restaged the Christ-drama, as presented in the Gospels, in the context of apartheid South Africa. This book sets out to explore this performance of Christ during one of the darkest hours in South Africäs history, by turning to ¿ and offering an in-depth investigation of ¿ the theological dramatic theory of the Swiss Catholic theologian, Hans Urs von Balthasar.
