The currency of Sunday Enessi Ododo's (SEO's) contributions to African theatre appears to challenge the African philosophical thought that 'a tree does not make a forest.' It seems SEO is one tree that has become a forest considering the quantum and depth of his contributions to theatre, cultural studies, media arts, performance aesthetics, theatre technology, scenography, critical theory, arts, cultural administration/management and creative writing in Nigeria and beyond. SEO's multidimensional creative enterprise has created formidable platforms for his elders, peers, and mentees to luxuriate academically and professionally in Nigeria and elsewhere. The person, personality, and career of SEO as a theatre maker, anthropologist, theatre technologist, theatre manager, theatreprenuer, theatre teacher and culturologist is diachronically inspiring, humbling, and challenging at the same time. This book comprises critical and honorific articles on the works of Sunday Enessi Ododo (SEO), theatre technology, literature, cultural communication, and humanistic studies generally. It is divided into five parts: perspectives on Sunday Enessi Ododo's dramaturgy and other literary works; sociology of literature and humanistic sciences; theatre aesthetics, technology, film and cultural communication; interviews with Sunday Enessi Ododo; and tributes, reflections and reminiscences.
