Abstract :
Cultural construction is a critical invention in the pastiche of cultural reconstruction in the racial turn of cultural studies. For cultural construct, in whatever form, is housed by change, a permanent doctrine of necessity. Consequently, this paper, through Alan Sinfield s theory of art as cultural production examines cultural reconstruction and experimental exploration for peace in Olu Obafemi s Dark Times are Over? We locate seven distinct theatrical aesthetics in the experimental performance of Dark Times are Over? The text is, however, interpreted as a dramatist s ideological transformation and potent search for peace among the Nigerian youths.
