This discussion is with Dr. Brian Valente-Quinn, he is an associate professor of Francophone African Studies at the University of Colorado Boulder. His research focuses on the histories and politics of theatrical performance in West Africa, and especially the stage’s interplay with questions of decoloniality, Pan-Africanism, popular culture, and forms of activist performance. In this discussion we discuss his book, Senegalese Stagecraft: Decolonizing Theater-Making in Francophone Africa, where he employs an interdisciplinary approach to explore the reworkings and innovations of stage spaces and performance practices in Senegal from the colonial era to the present day.
