The secret
In the original myth, Vodnik (a deity) lives in the depths of a lake. After his beloved long plea to see her mother again in the human world, he reluctantly agrees to let her go, keeping her offspring, a daughter. Tired of waiting for his wife to return, Vodnik decides to sacrifice the child on the doorstep of the woman who abandoned him. The Secret plays with the myth and lyrical symphony created by Dvorak, as the child isn't sacrificed, but given up on the doorstep of a house occupied by an atypical couple. The play invites us into the heart of the family drama where violence still the only way to communicate. The man lives cloistered and the woman conceals the secret of a miraculous maternity. As for the abandoned little girl, she will have grown up despite everything, building her revolt. Intrusion of a stranger into their lives brings out all the latent family dramas on the edge of fate.
Pictorial metaphors
In this book, the artist brings his philosophical poems and his paintings into dialogue. The subjects put forward legitimise a fierce desire for truth and humanist equity. From page to page, a part of his view on his time revealed. This journey tells, sometimes with humour and irony, of trials, convictions, colours and fantastic or familiar existences. Each text and painting duo forcefully asserts the metaphorical dimension of his pictorial work.

Nation-Building, Propaganda, and Literature in Francophone Africa
What characterizes the relationship between literature and the state? Should literature serve the needs of the state by constructing national consciousness, espousing state propaganda, and molding good citizens? Or should it be dedicated to a different kind of creative social endeavor? In this important book about literature and the politics of nation-building, Dominic Thomas assesses the contributions of Francophone African writers whose works have played a key role in the recent transition to democracy in the Congo. Exploring the works of Sony Labou Tansi, Henri Lopes, and Emmanuel Dongala, among others, Thomas highlights writers intimately involved with government and politics -- whether in support of the state's vision or with the intention of articulating a more open view of citizens and society. Focusing on themes such as collaboration, reconciliation, identity, history, and memory, Nation-Building, Propaganda, and Literature in Francophone Africa elaborates a broader understanding of the circumstances of African colonization, modern African nation-state formation, and the complex cultural dynamics at work in Africa since independence.
New Theatre in Francophone and Anglophone Africa
This volume is mainly a collection of papers presented at the 1995 Mandelieu conference in France which brought together artists and critics. The theme was that of contemporary African theatre in the former British and French empires.

The varied topics include: popular theatre, Soyinka and France, syncretic theatre, comparisons between Anglophone and Francophone theatre in the Cameroon, censorship, development theatre and Sony Labou Tansi. There are also interview with Southern African writers and pieces of creative writing.
