Reimagining Tragedy from Africa and the Global South

ACTivism interview | Kim Kerfoot

Interview with theatre director Kim Kerfoot, focusing on the negotiation of nude scenes in two iterations of his production of Athol Fugard's "Statements After an Arrest Under the Immorality Act" - one at the Theatre Arts Admin Collective independent venue (2 - 5 November 2011), and one at the Fugard Theatre (24 February - 18 February 2012). The interview, which explores contemporary morality and reactions to a classic piece of Apartheid-era protest theatre, forms part of Dr Carla Lever's research into repertoires of shock in South African performance and politics.

Informal Zoom meeting on 2021-07-23.
