Utopias of Change

Werewere Liking’s Paroles-Actes

Sara Tagliacozzo

University Of Sienna And University Of Paris sa_taglia{at}yahoo.it

The theatre of Werewere Liking, a writer and artist from Cameroon, is a very interesting case of synthesis between her theoretical reflections on gender in postcolonial Africa and the aesthetic and social experimentation of a Pan-African ideal by the artists’ community she founded in 1985 in Abidjan, Ivory Coast. For almost 20 years Liking’s theatre has been a tool of cultural intervention on African societies, aimed to resist the hegemony of a masculine, nationalist colonial discourse.

Key Words: Africa • feminism • Werewere Liking • Pan-Africanism • theatre
