On the occasion of the NVAS Africa Day 2019 on 16 March in Utrecht, the ASCL Library has compiled a web dossier about “Performing arts in West Africa”. It focuses on theatre, dance and hiphop in West Africa. The web dossier contains titles from the ASCL Library catalogue published from 2010, and a list of written plays from West Africa which are part of the ASCL Library’s extensive literature collection. The introduction is by Javier López Piñón, stage director.
