In this award-winning classic about the universal struggle for human dignity, a black man in apartheid-era South Africa tries to overcome oppressive work regulations to support his family. Co-creator John Kani performed in the original production and won the 1975 Tony Award for Best Actor. Now, 40 years later, Kani directs his son, Atandwa Kani, in this new international production. Sizwe Banzi is Dead performs Feb. 25 – March 15 in the Archbold Theatre at the Syracuse Stage/Drama Complex, 820 East Genesee Street. Discounted preview performances are Feb. 25 and 26. The Opening Night performance is Friday, Feb. 27 at 8 p.m. Tickets and info are available at www.syracusestage.org, by phone at 315-443-3275, and in person at the Syracuse Stage Box Office, Mon-Fri, 10am-5pm. Ticket discounts are available for groups of 10 or more at 315-443-9844. Discounts are also available for seniors, students, and U.S. military personnel and veterans. Sign interpretation, open captioning, and audio description services are available for select performances. This show is recommended for ages 12 and up. The Syracuse Stage production of Sizwe Banzi is Dead is co-produced with two acclaimed theatre companies: The Market Theatre in Johannesburg, South Africa, and McCarter Theatre Center in Princeton, NJ. After performing in December to sold-out houses in South Africa, the work moved to McCarter in January where it was praised as “extraordinary” (BroadwayWorld.com), with performances that “make this penetrating play all the more compelling” (The New York Times). Directing the Syracuse Stage production is John Kani, known as the “Grandfather of South African Theatre.” Kani is one of the creators of Sizwe along with fellow actor Winston Ntshona and Athol Fugard, one of the worlds most revered playwrights. Kani and Ntshona performed the play in South Africa, England, and on Broadway, where they won joint Tony Awards for Best Actor. Adding to the significance of the Syracuse production, John Kani is directing his son, actor Atandwa Kani, who will perform the roles made famous by his father. Atandwa Kani will be joined on stage by fellow South African actor Mncedisi Shabangu. Sizwe Banzi is Dead was devised in 1972 as what became known as “protest theatre.” The work was constructed to speak out against the apartheid system in South Africa, by examining the life of one man struggling to adhere to the Pass Laws. Pass Laws dictated that all black people over the age of 16 carry at all times a government issued identification called a pass book, which indicated where an individual could live and work (StageView). “Sizwe Banzi became a statement that articulated the anger of black people against these laws,” said John Kani. “It’s about the universal struggle of identity, of the dignity of the human being, and respect for humanity.” Kani felt this firsthand as some people in South Africa did not approve of Sizwe. While working on this play and others, he was often detained by police. Once, shortly after winning the Tony Award, Kani and Winston Ntshona were arrested and placed into solitary confinement. The arrests sparked outrage from artists around the world and they were eventually freed. However, years later in 1985, Kani was stabbed by police and only narrowly escaped with his life (Program Book). After the death of Nelson Mandela in December of 2013, Stage’s Producing Artistic Director Timothy Bond reached out to John Kani about directing a revival of Sizwe. The arrival of this production in Syracuse marks a continuation of Stage’s partnership with South African theatres that began with The Brothers Size, which transferred to the Market and Baxter Theatres in 2012. The Presenting Sponsor for Sizwe Banzi is Dead is the Robert Sterling Clark Foundation. The sponsor is Chase Bank. The Media Sponsors are Urban CNY and WRVO Public Media. The 2014/15 Season Sponsor is Syracuse Media Group.

  • Wakanda Forever
    3 Wakanda Forever Racism is a system whose function is to confer privilege. Tat privilege has two main components, economic and psychic. Racism as a system is fundamentally reliant on binary thinking in order to build the symbolic meanings on which its material practices are erected. Historically and philosophically, racism is an implicit part of the well-intentioned liberal- ism which has crafted the individualized subject of Western psychology. As Perry (2018) has shown, the processes of the Enlightenment, together with the genocide and slavery that accompanied the colonialism which made modernity, needed a category of nonpersons in order to authorize and enrich the gendered and classed person who was a product of these historical forces. Tese processes of person production were as much eco- nomic and legal as they were psychological, showing once more the imbrication of all these forces. Racism, of course, makes use of the construct of race to authorize itself. Tere is no scientifc validity to the construct of race. Tere is only one, human race, although there are geographically regional genetic vari- ants of humans. All the scientifc and psychological work on race and putative racial diferences in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries was research done on “something which was not there” (Richards, 2012, p. 19; © Te Author(s) 2022 73 N. Distiller, Complicities, Palgrave Studies in the Teory and History of Psychology, https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-79675-4_3 74 N. Distiller see Posel, 2001; Richeson & Sommers, 2016). Or, as Oluo (2019, pp. 11–12) puts it, race is “a lie told to justify a crime” (see also Kendi, 2016).

  • LESSONS from WAKANDA: Pan-Africanism As the Antidote to Robotisation,THE BLACK PANTHER PHENOMENON: Bridging the Rift Between
    LESSONS FROM WAKANDA: Pan-Africanism as the antidote to robotisation By Horace G. Campbell In May 2013, the African Union launched Agenda 2063, a blueprint for an integrated, emancipated, prosperous and peaceful Africa. There was a renewed commitment to work for the full unification of Africa, with a common currency from one common bank of issue, a continental communication system, a common foreign policy and a common defence system featuring the African high command. Five years later, Hollywood came out with a fictional story of a bountiful, independent African state called Wakanda in the film Black Panther. Wakanda was described as the most scientifically and technologically advanced civilisation in the world — not to mention the wealthiest. It is not a coincidence that there is a straight line between the aspirations of the Global African Family, as expressed in Agenda 2063, and the depiction of a technologically advanced Africa. From the era of the writings of C. L. R James on the majesty of the Haitian Revolution to the current struggle for the dignity of black lives, the liberation and unification of Africa has always been presented as the basis for Pan-Africanism. Examining the meaning of Pan-Africanism in the current context of massive technological change requires a new language and a new orientation – an orientation that breaks away from the stultifying concepts embraced by a class of leaders who have no loyalty to Africa and who seek to turn citizens into tribal nanobots without a spiritual core. We are reminded that in this era of artificial intelligence (AI) the future of humanity is the struggle between humans that control machines and machines that control humans.

On that day, when the Macbeth Project’s hyphenations met Crockett’s “hyphy nation,” it be- came clear to me that what is more important than adjusting the habits of (re-habilitating) youth is the project of reincarnating our national arts pedagogy. The AASC places reincarnation before rehabilitation, illustrating that what needed to “come alive” was an ensemble capable of illustrating to hip-hop youth how their affective habits already have a home within larger political and aesthetic machines. With the help of the AASC’s project, Crockett’s hyphy performance has already begun to colorfully exceed and reconstitute the contours of our classic, national Shakespearean machine. n The Tempest Presented by the Baxter Theatre Centre and the Royal Shakespeare Com- pany at the Richmond Theatre, Surrey, UK.

  • Our Dreams Are Valid
    Our Dreams Are Valid By Oyunga Pala On March 1, 2018, two weeks after its release, Black Panther movie was approaching a billion dollars in ticket sales. 10 days in, the movie leapt past the $400 million mark in domestic box office in the USA and over $700 million across the world. That is Stars Wars territory but with an All Black Cast to boot in a Marvel feature. This is the movie equivalent to the US Dream Team, at the 1992 Olympics at Barcelona. Never before had a finer group of talented basketballers come together and when they did, they took the world by storm. Black Panther is having its dream team moment as the showcase for black excellence and representation in cinema. Black Panther is a beautifully shot film. The fictional country Wakanda is rich in detail. The central story is about belonging and heritage. Ryan Coolger, the 31-year-old African American director looks at Africa with a different set of eyes and response to this film in Kenya has been tremendous. A film is big when people pack theatres weekend after weekend and even during the weekdays to experience the magic of the big screen despite our home entertainment movie culture. Black Panther is a tale told by Africans about a place far away that they call home. In some respects, an African dream inspired by Marcus Garvey’s rallying call to the African diaspora, “ Look to Africa, where a black king shall be crowned for the day of deliverance is at hand”. Ryan Coolger said in a Rolling Stone interview that Black Panther explored what it meant to be African.
