Abstract

In the years that followed the advent of democracy in the new South Africa, initial dreams of harmony gave way to corruption, violence, and poverty instead of completely transcending the painful legacy of apartheid. However, there emerged an attempt to move beyond homogenization in the arts and to stage the full spectrum of colours of the South African nation potentially suggested by the rainbow metaphor. Four significant 21st century plays are placed in conversation in this essay in order to illustrate the creation of what could be called, in an echo of Edouard Glissant’s famous concept, an aesthetic of creolization: Omphile Molusi’s Itsotseng (2006), Greg Homann’s Oedipus@Koö-nú. (2014), Craig Higginson’s The Imagined Land (2015), and Mike van Graan’s When Swallows Cry (2017).
