Abstract

The paper attempts to explore the post-colonial space in Soyinka’s play A Dance of the Forests (1963). It embarks upon the post-colonial issues of African society and Soyinka as a dramatist tries to project the process of decolonization. The process of decolonization is seen in the play and the paper will showcase the writing technicalities which shows the post-colonial issues in the present. It seems to create awareness to the African society regarding their inglorious past which they should learn a lesson from it and should remember in the present. Soyinka’s writing technicalities depict the search for identity and roots in the present since the present scenario has failed to accept their own cultural roots. It is his theatrical stance which throws insight into his post-colonial aspects.
