Embracing Universal Memory | HowlRound Theatre Commons

howlround.com: I began working in theatre in my twentieth year, at the start of the 1990s, at the National University of Rwanda. The country was then in the midst of a civil war, and theatre became, for us as young students, a means of understanding and representing the singular moments the Rwandan society of that time was going through. We were not writing plays; we limited ourselves to performing African classics, most often by authors from West Africa.
