He adds powerful and relatable components in his storytelling. As a result, Andrew Buckland’s “The Ugly Noo Noo” exemplifies theater’s power as a platform for political expression in Africa. The show pushes viewers to confront hard truths about identity and belonging in a fast changing world by delving into personal and societal concerns. As South Africa evolves, works like Buckland’s remind us of the long-standing importance of performance in shaping political conversation and promoting understanding.展开更多
