From the supplier: Athol Fugard and H.I.E. Dhlomo were the shapers of South African theater in the 1970s. The generation that followed refused the Fougard's existentialism sans transcendence and saw salvation in Black Consciousness. During the late '70s, the Witwaterand anti-apartheid culture became a performative force that shaped the theater. At the periphery, too, was another powerful force: Mbongeni Ngema's reclamation of the oral tradition. Late 1980s theater broke up into tribal performances: theaters for the gays, the feminists, the lesbians. Now, the 1990s type of performative art is puppetry.
