ABSTRACT
Many theatre groups are arriving on the scene, in response to young peo-
ple’s need to express themselves. As a result, the entertainment theatre has given
way to another kind of theatrical expression, a much more committed one,
which takes up themes like war, famine, democracy and AIDS with a deep
desire to draw the audience’s attention to these subjects. In spite of heavy
financial problems Togo’s theatre can expect good times ahead of it, and brave
private initiatives are helping to make this hope concrete.
