Migration Theatre in South Africa With Reference to Mike van Graan’s When Swallows Cry
In this article a discussion on migrant theatre in South Africa is given, with special reference to Mike van Graan’s play When Swallows Cry (2017). In the introduction a short background is given in terms of migration statistics and issues (notably xenophobia) pertaining to the South African state and society. Against the background of an international and national upsurge in migrant theatre the view is expressed that though we have had migrant t…
Magrita Prinslo (1896), Magdalena Retief (1938) and Mies Julie (2012)
IntroductionThe focus in this article is a postcolonial reading of Yael Farber's 2012 adaptation (Mies Julie) of Strindberg's Miss Julie (1888) through the lens of the Mother of the Nation concept (Volksmoederkonsep) as situated within Afrikaner nationalist ideology. Strindberg's Miss Julie has been adapted numerous times (apparently more than twenty times) and often through re-imagings of the original play's issues in regards of gender, power an…
Nicola Hanekom’s Land van skedels – A Remembrance of Things Past and Present
Nicola Hanekom’s Land van Skedels had its premiere at the Clover Aardklop National Arts Festival in October 2013 and this production, as well as later ones, received glowing receptions from both theatre audience and theatre critics. She was commissioned by an Afrikaans newspaper (Die Burger) and an Afrikaans television channel (kykNET) to write Land van skedels. She was requested to focus in the play on the Anglo-Boer War, as well as the role pla…
Bollywood Cinema
There has always been a strong link between India's social and political history and Bollywood cinema. Within the context of the nationalist movement in India, Bollywood cinema has played an important role in constructing various dichotomies such as tradition/modernity, Indian/Western and spiritual/material. By negotiating with these binaries, Bollywood narratives have contributed to the dialogue on women's roles and position in Indian society. I…

Portrait of an Afrikaner revolutionary
Nelson Mandela and seven of his comrades were sentenced to life imprisonment for treason on 12 June 1964 (the final day of the notorious Rivonia trial). The leader for the defence was an Afrikaner, Bram Fischer. In Kalmer's play about Fischer the spotlight is on Fischer (the biographical subject). The political beliefs and personal life of this well-known and controversial figure in South African history give ample material for dramatic and theat…
Twee Fischers, twee dramas
There is no better example within Afrikaner history where different generations of the same family played such extraordinary roles in the course of important historical events for the Afrikaner as well as for South Africa than those of the Fischer family. The name Bram Fischer is well known within more recent history, due to his role as the leader of the legal defence team during the Rivonia trial where prominent political figures, including Nels…
South African drama and theatre heritage (part II)
In Part I, ‘A map of where we find ourselves’, the focus was firstly on providing a theoretical substantiation for the new technological approach towards cultural heritage (including the performance arts); secondly, to give a short historical overview of the South African drama and theatre heritage; and thirdly, to survey the current situation with regard to drama and theatre preservation in South Africa. In Part II the focus is on the future: ho…
South African drama and theatre heritage (part I)
The inaccessibility of documents on South African theatre productions poses a considerable problem in both the research and teaching of theatre. The gap that this has created in our literary history may be irreversible as live performance is the most ephemeral of art forms. The recording of theatre performance inevitably implies a distortion of the original event, but is nevertheless of vital importance for theatre research. This article first ex…

Between Languages
A study of dramatic language in a playwright's oeuvre should, according to Vimala Herman (1995), not only focus on the interactive and interactional uses of dialogue, but should also include a discussion of the wider cultural context in which these plays are situated. In this article I use the above viewpoint as an approach to study dramatic language in Fugard's oeuvre. A short analysis is firstly given of how the “mechanics” of everyday conversa…

An Ecocritical Reading of Pieter Fourie's Die Koggelaar
Pieter Fourie's Die Koggelaar (1988) is an important play in his oeuvre and one which has been commented on and discussed by various theorists. Most of these discussions focused on Boet Cronje as the protagonist of the play and foregrounded the themes of racism, chauvinism and Afrikaner nationalism in the late eighties as depicted in this play. In my ecocritical reading of this play I move away from a human-centred approach and try to show rather…

Found in translation
Both Reza de Wet and Janet Suzman recently produced plays that were inspired by two famous plays by Chekhov. Reza de Wet's Drie susters twee (1996) (Three Sisters Two) is a “continuation'Vsequal to Chekhov's Three Sisters, while Janet Suzman's The Free State (2000) is as indicated in her subtitle, “A South African Response to Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard” (2000). Since these two plays have been discussed extensively from both postmodern and postc…
Ostensie en die dramateks/opvoering‐verhouding
This article studies the relationship between dramatic text and performance from the viewpoint of the role played by ostension in both. Two aspects receive special attention in this regard, namely: the aspect of physical representation; and the fictional contract (contrat théâtral) made with the spectator. A short discussion is given of Pieter Fourie's Die Koggalaar (1988) to illustrate the working of ostension in this play
