The Importance of Art in Theatre
Fine art plays a central role in one of the plays at this year’s Krêkvars festival.
“Art can create tranquility understanding and unity,” says Keith Mparana, creator of the paintings that is used as part of the play F5_Burning MzAN. “I believe it’s the longest enduring form of communication as can be seen in primitive cave paintings.”
Mparana says fine art and theatre are a perfect fit. “Theatre brings movement and sound to artwork and art brings a vibrant atmosphere to theatre.”
For Mparana, painting is a form of stress therapy. “It’s usually a spur of the moment thing. An idea runs through my head and I try to portray it on canvas.”
Having his paintings in one of the plays in the Krêkvars is his “most euphoric moment as an artist.” -Simisola Jolaoso
