Acknowledgments

I wish to thank the actors of the participatory theatre troupes I have worked with in Uganda, South Sudan, Rwanda, and DR Congo. Without their readiness to explore the power of theatre for peace, this book wouldn’t have been possible.

I am grateful to Gabor Csetneki for teaching me his alternative approach to theatre.

Thank you Harald Hahn for introducing me to Forum Theatre and encouraging me to write this book, and for your trust and believe, that it will add value to the “world of theatre practitioners”.

I want to thank Christiane Kayser for motivating me to finally start writing about my experiences, and for publishing an article in her Building peace series.

I wish to thank all organizations that have supported my work in Africa, especially the United Evangelical Mission, Bread for the World, the German Association for Development Cooperation (AGEH), and the German International Cooperation (GIZ).

A special thanks goes to Uli Thum, who invited me to South Sudan to share my experiences and to form a theatre troupe.

I am grateful to Rev. Joshua Lusenge Kasereka, coordinator of APRED-RGL, for giving me space and time to explore the use of participatory theatre in peace work in Rwanda and DR Congo.

Finally, I would like to express heartfelt gratitude to my wife Sophie and my sons Mano and Lou, for living with my passion for theatre. This book is dedicated to you.
