Storytelling
is one of the most prominent components of the African oral tradition. Its
significance in the cultural life style goes
beyond the theater, since theater in Africa exceeds the stage.
Storytelling, in the African context, is a unique blend of theatrical
ensemble, characterized by music, dance, riddles, jokes, mythological
fairy tales, fables, and narratives of historical facts
of real life ancestral stories.
