Ta Oreva. a theatre as installation by migrant arts for staging times project2019 production.Stage script adaptation by Thokozani KapiriCo-edited by Misheck Mzumara Original short story by Muthi Nhlema. Photo inspirations by Lebo Khagye.From 12 August to 2 September 2021, the art project âStaging Timesâ initiated by the Fondation Oumou Dilly was hosted by the transdisciplinary centre and participatory urban laboratory BHROX bauhaus reuse on Ernst-Reuter-Platz in Berlin.The design of the project followed a ping-pong format: first, the photographers created a series of photos which they sent to their respective project partners from the theatre. They took the pictures as a starting point for developing their plays. In a second step, the theatre performances in turn inspired the photographers for another photo series. This back-and-forth process produced six photo series and three theatre productions. In the staged visual worlds, which inspired each other associatively, crises of the present intertwine with apocalyptic futures and traumatic pasts to create a multi-layered reflection on being in the world from different African perspectives. As part of the âStaging Timesâ project, the photographers Lebohang Kganye (South Africa), Sarah Waiswa (Uganda) and Aboubacar Traore (Mali) and the three theatre-makers Thokozani Kapiri (Malawi), Freddy Sabimbona (Burundi) and NoĂŤl Minoungou (Burkina Faso) explored the topic of âtimeâ in three groups of two between 2018 and 2021. It was also exhbited at the Basel Arts Festival (Switzerland) of 2021.

Kapiri, T.,"Racial Representation in Contemporary Stagings of Athol Fugard Plays in Switzerland: Blood Knot, Master Harold ...and the Boys, The Island." (Monica Gysler: Supervisor). MA Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfilment for the Attainment of Master of Art in Theatre Directing at the Zurich University of the Arts, Department of Performing Arts and Film, Master in Theater Division, Theatre Directing Section. 2010. Abstract: The paper analyses how particular contemporary productions of three plays, originally written by Athol Fugard, were staged in relation to racial representation in a specific theatre making context where a Malawian theatre directing student staged historically specific plays of the South African author in Switzerland between the years 2013 and 2018. The discussion is articulated in relation to the theory of representation, raising various questions as to what kind of racial representational stereotypes prevailed in these particular stagings of Athol Fugard plays; what kind of strategies, and indeed to what extent, the contemporary stagings of the works in question challenged such stereotypes. The basic argument the thesis makes is that, how a performance artist stages racial content material, implicates the kind of representations generated thereof, either conforming to aesthetic stereotypes of racial representations or challenging them, which is a complicated exercise yet key in transforming rigid fictional representations of race in performance art making. The thesis contributes to the ongoing discourse, regarding how media and art makers in general engage and represent race in their aesthetic manifestations.
