African Tales By Shakespeare
Theatre
Description
Description
African Tales by Shakespeare is one of the most important shows directed by Krzysztof Warlikowski, the world acclaimed theatre director. Warlikowski, having directed several Shakespeare’s plays, is known for his modern interpretation of traditional texts. In African Tales, he uses his particular adaptation technique, juxtaposing and mixing fragments of different plays through which a unique screenplay emerges. King Lear, The Merchant of Venice and Othello depict three Shakeaspearian heroes who impersonate the figures of today’s exclusion, being victims of ageism, antisemitism and racism. Warlikowski also lets the usually silent female characters speak, making them deliver monologues especially written for the play by Lebanese poet and playwright Wajdi Mouawad. African Tales by Shakespeare is an epic metaphysical journey.
