One basic problem facing most rapidly developing countries
is the need to preserve good traditions and at the same time graft
upon them.
That is why in Africa, for example there are several cultural
organizations; these encourage not only the local arts, but also
widen the scope to include the arts of neighboring countries of
Europe, and other part of the world.
These organizations should not only focus on the arts which
please the African mind generally, but they need to take to
account that which appeals to the intellect and moral aspect of
man. As a matter of fact, we traveled to six West-African
countries to prepare our research. From our research we came up
with a lot of information and we decided to put them in a simple
play so it can be easily understood by all.
It is our hope that this plays will be of interest to the general
public and may help in a way to give a genuine impression that
the various West African communities have many problems
feeling and interest in common.
