Voices Made Night

Synopsis:
An adaptation for the stage of selected short stories by the acclaimed Mozambican author Mia Couto. Couto 's writing is rooted in the strange and often bizarre realities of life in contemporary African societies in transition. His stories confront head on the difficulties facing postcolonial societies in the process of transformation, offering unique insight into the psychic damage, which has been the legacy of both colonial history and the wars of decolonisation. the stage version is a story made up of pieces, fragments of other stories, told in a vacant space filled at varying times by different voices, different characters, a liminal world of chaos, of fertile nothingness, a great storehouse of possibilities.
