“The Dungeon”, the latest of Mnena’s creative works is adapted from Henrik Ibsen’s “A Doll’s House.” This work explores the indigenous cultural background of Nigeria in West Africa. It relates the deep decay in society where politicians use money and power to exploit the poor. It questions corrupt leaders, who have no political ideology, blueprint or plan but forcefully stay in power to rule over the people. The work also reflects the level of poverty in Nigeria. The down trodden masses continue to suffer. The poor down trodden, who have no voice, comprise of women, the rural community and children. Nora is the representation of the down trodden. This work does not only explore the issues of power play in Nigeria, but also focuses on the deep feminist and gender discourse about the institution of marriage in Africa where many are trapped in a prison of despair and sadness within this institution. Ibsen is more read or studied as a Western script, but re-interpreting it into an African setting, gives it a better understanding and inclusion in society.
