摘要
This article - focusing on six selected plays by contemporary African playwrights, until now spar-sely analyzed - offers a study about the crisis of family relationships. After presenting the difficulties encountered by young African playwrights with their link to the use of a single language and the problems of publishing their texts, the study addresses different types of crisis that a family, African or not, is experiencing at the present time: adolescent crisis in Bintou by Koffi Kwahule (Ivory Coast), financial "crisis" in The Last Envelope by Pierre Mumbere Mujomba (Democratic Republic of the Congo), family crisis related to incest in Einsteinnette by David-Minor Ilunga ( DRC), social crisis in Celestin Kasongo's Control Tower (DRC), couple crisis in A bout de sueurs by Hakim Bah (Guinea), migration crisis in Passe pas, l'homme ! by Faustin Keoua-Leturmy (Congo).
