Abstract

More and more often, Flemish theatre is confronted with the accusation that it is ‘too white’ at all possible levels: from its internal organisation to the choice of actors and the repertoire. In this contribution, Erwin Jans makes a plea for reading non-western theatre texts. He looks into several Arabic adaptations of Oedipus, situating them in a wider cultural and political context, thus enabling them to shine a new light on the western adaptations as well.
