Abstract

A research project on community-based theatre in Tanzania questions the efficacy of the genre in combating the AIDS epidemic. If performances are well attended, and participants are informed on the causes of the virus, why is it still rampant? Efficacy will be possible only when gender inequities and taboos are openly confronted.
