Die verwerking van n jeugroman na n verhoogteks teen die agtergrond van kulturele en geografiese verplasings : n gevallestudie aan die hand van Dis ek, Anna

[摘要] ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This thesis explores the notion of intercultural and geographic adaptations within the South African youth theatre context. Initially, the study reflects on international adaptation practices, especially within the context of youth theatre. Here the focus is on the methodologies and modalities of British, American and Australian stage adaptations. Throughout the body of reasearch, it is found that there exist several approaches to adaptation, including analogy, commentary, and the so-called pluralist approach. Hereafter, the focus shifts towards youth theatre praxis and the overall trends within this milieu. Aspects such as socio-political concerns and socio-economic realities are identified as key concerns of the youth. The practical investigation is conducted at Bergriver Senior Secondary School where the novel, Dis Ek, Anna by Anchien Troskie is adapted into a youth theatre script for performance at the ATKV Youth Theatre Competition (ATKV-Tienertoneelkompetisie). The adaptation is therefore positioned and explored within this sosio-political and economic context by shifting Dis Ek, Anna culturally and geographically to Cape Afrikaans (Kaapse Afrikaans) within the the context of the school community. The eventual script, Dis Ek, Annatjie, is presented as a practical example of an adaptation for the youth theatre.
