| spelling | oai:open.uct.ac.za:11427/8159 Ouma : performing the myth of the self Gröger, Karl Christian Fleishman, Mark Theatre and Performance Includes abstract. Inludes bibliographical references (leaves 56-61). This paper is an explication of my thesis production Ouma, which was presented in December 2008 towards the fulfilment of the degree Masters of Arts in Theatre and Performance (Theatre Making) at the University of Cape Town. The explication focuses largely on what happens when the myth structuring the identity of an individual changes. How does the individual go about re-narrating identity within the context of the new myth? And how might the creation of performance contribute tothe re-narrating? The first section, Myth of the Selfexamines the concept of 'myth' and 'the Self and how they intersect and influence each other. I demonstrate how myths and the Self intersect and how, through the telling of stories, we create understanding or meaning. The second section, Myth of the Old; Myth of the New, considers the myth of the old South Africa, the myth of the new South Africa, and the different strategies of self-narration that occur in the one and in the other. The third section, Rupture, proposes that there is a powerful impact on individual identities when a political myth is rupture. In conclusion I indicate where the continuation of this investigation may lead. 2014-10-06T11:34:26Z 2014-10-06T11:34:26Z 2008 Master Thesis Masters MA http://hdl.handle.net/11427/8159 eng application/pdf Department of Drama Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
