By Professor Bimbo Adeleke, Department of Theatre and Film Arts. Netflix and TikTok may dominate our screens, but the shared experience of live theatre remains irreplaceable. When actors and audiences breathe the same air, laugh together, cry together, something transformative happens. Our department is training a new generation of theatre practitioners who understand that the stage is not a relic but a revolutionary space. Our productions draw sold-out crowds because they speak to real human emotions and social dilemmas. Theatre will survive technology because authentic human connection will never go out of style.
