Theatre on Social Media in Post COVID-19 Nigeria: Segun Adefila's "Corona Palava" as a Virtual Performance
Research in Drama Education, v27 n4 p550-558 2022
Nigerian theatre directors have turned to social media to reach their audience in the COVID-19 era. This study examines the production of Corona Palava by Segun Adefila and adopts Hess-Lüttich's [Hess-Lüttich, E. W. B. 1999. "Kohtiholististentekstiennarratologiaa. Hypertekstintekstuaalinenteoria." In Mediatieteenkysymyksiä 3. Kirjoituksiamediakulttuurista, edited by S. Inkinen, and M. Ylä-Kotola, 679-718. Rovaniemi: Lapin yliopisto] theory of 'Intermediality' as its theoretical framework. Facebook proved to be a more engaging site for the streaming of the production of Corona Palava than YouTube. This intermedial method allows theatre to fulfil its educational objectives and has the potential to reinvigorate Nigerian interest in theatre.
