The text provides guidelines for a case-study of political and social aspects on theatrical practices of a theater set in the post-apartheid context of South Africa. This theater is made by the group established at the Hillbrow Theater in the city of Johannesburg. In the context of this group, existential cosmologies of multiple knowledges are formed due to the legacy of ethnic separatism and the intense historical mobility of Africans in the area. Residents of the neighbourhood, mostly migrants, seek meaningful citizenship between social arrangements and agreements based on precariousness and transience. This theater houses today the Outreach Foundation, a non-governmental organization (NGO) that develops theatrical development programs immersed in a context of such enormous social complexities that they operate as a platform for art, education and transformation for the young participants.
