1 | Zimbabwe: Changing Young Lives Through Theatre | Zimbaboe: Manova ny Fiainan'ny Tanora Amin'ny Alalan'ny Teatra |
2 | Boyce Chaka is a 27 year-old poet and stage actor in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe's second largest city. | 27 taona i Boyce Chaka, poety sy mpianatra teatra ao Bulawayo, tanàna lehibe faharoa ao Zimbabwe. |
3 | Since last year, he has been investing his time towards teaching high school kids about Shakespearean works and poetry as part of what he says is an attempt to “keep them off the streets.” | Nanomboka tamin'ny taona lasa, nanokana ny fotoanany tamin'ny fampianarana ny mpianatra ambaratonga faharoa momba ny sanganasan'i Shakespeare sy ny tononkalo araka izay nambarany fa andrana ny hoe “hanala azy ireo eny an-dalambe [hidonanam-poana].” |

5 | With few amenities to go around for extra curricular activities, tutoring young high school children acting and poetry has become one of the activities Chaka says will fill what would otherwise have been idle hours. | Amin'ireo taranja hafa mifanindran-dalana amin'ny taranjam-pianarana, lasa fanaon'i Chaka ny mitari-dalana ny tanora mpianatra ambaratonga faharoa hilalao an-tsehatra sy hikalo poezia mba hamenoana izay lazainy ho ora tsy misy fampianarana . |
6 | This is his own way of bringing school children into the “wonderful world of Shakespeare” and also encourage them to read at a time when there are concerns in Zimbabwe that there is no culture of reading among young people. | Io no fomba ataony hahazoan'ny ankizy ny “tontolo mahafinaritra an'i Shakespeare” sy handrisihany azy ireo hamaky teny ao anatin'ny vanim-potoana ahiana fa tsy misy fanolokoloana ny tanora hamaky teny any Zimbabwe. |
7 | Chaka says: | Hoy i Chaka: |
8 | These are stories they can easily relate to outside pulp fiction. | Misy ny tantara azo ampifandraisina tsara amin'ny “pulp fiction” ao. |
9 | There is always something to be learned in Shakespeare and if I can encourage these youngsters to master these texts at an early age, they could take it up to wherever they want. | Misy zavatra azo ianarana foana amin'ny Shakespeare ary raha mandrisika ireo tanora ireo hahafehy ny lahatsoratra dieny mbola kely aho dia mahatonga azy ireo ho tonga haingana any amin'ny tanjona tratrariny izany. |
10 | For example, many say they want to be lawyers, and in Zimbabwe to be accepted at the university to study law you must at least have aced English literature. | Ohatra, maro ireo milaza fa te ho lasa mpisolovava, ary ao Zimbaboe, mba hanekena anao hiditra hianatra ny taranja lalàna any amin'ny Anjerimanontolo, dia tsy maintsy nahomby tsara tamin'ny fitsapana literatiora teny Anglisy ianao. |
11 | So this is one the reasons why I am doing this. | Izany indrindra no antony anaovako izao zavatra izao. |
12 | I teach at a number of schools in the city [Bulawayo] and the response has been great. | Mampianatra amin'ny sekoly maro ao an-tanàna [Bulawayo] aho ary tsara ny vokatra. |
13 | It is not just about knowing the plays by Shakespeare, but I am also giving acting classes. | Tsy noho ny fahaizana ny sangan'asan'i Shakespeare ihany fa mampianatranolotra fampianarana teatra any am-painarana ihany koa aho. |
14 | Chaka tells me he wants to connect the “township street theatre” with Shakespearean stage plays and see how children from different backgrounds can learn from each of these genres. | Nilaza tamiko i Chaka fa te hampifandray ny “teatran'ny arabe ao an- tanàna” amin'ny tantara an-tsehatr'i Shakespeare izy ary nasehony ny anatra azon'ny ankizy avy amin'ny toerana samihafa traikefa isaky ny miova sehatra. |
15 | It is from this passion that he set his ambitions on creating this rich cultural mosaic in Bulawayo, which is already celebrated as Zimbabwe's cultural hub. | Avy amin'izany fitiavana izany no hametrahany ny kinasany amin'ny fananganana bemirain-kolontsaina manankarena ao Bulawayo, izay efa ankalazaina ho fihaonan-dalan-kolontsain'i Zimbamboe. |

19 | His is an initiative based on a desire to contribute towards creating not just a reading culture among young school-going boys and girls, but effectively to open their eyes to other career opportunities. | Mifototra amin'ny finiavany handray anjara biriky hampisy tsy amin'ny fananan-kolontsaim-pamakianteny eo amin'ny tanora mpianatra lahy sy vavy irery ihany, fa hanokatra indrindra ny mason'izy ireo hahita sehatr'asa hafa azo atao. |
20 | Zimbabwean youths are the largest demographic group in Zimbabwe, and opportunities for school leavers remain few. | Ny Tanora Zimbaboena no vondrom-ponina maro indrindra ao Zimbaboe, ary ety ny tsirim-panantenana hihariana amin'ireo niala ny sekoly. |
21 | Chaka says he wants to open these young people to other career possibilities after they leave school. | Nilaza i Chaka fa te hitarika ireo tanora amin'ny asa hafa azony atao aorian'ny fialany ny sekoly. |
22 | “I believe if taken seriously, they can become professional stage actors as theatre is gaining popularity across the country,” Chaka says. | “Mino fa raha tena matotra tokoa izy ireo amin'izany, dia mety ho lasa mpanao teatra matihanina satria mampahazo laza manerana ny firenena ny teatra,” hoy i Chaka. |

26 | Chaka has also been invited to teach literature to university students and says it feels great knowing that what he is doing is being taken seriously. | Nasaina hampianatra literatiora ho an'ny mpianatra ambaratonga ambony eny anivon'ny oniversite ihany koa i Chaka ary nilaza fa mahafinaritra tokoa ny mahafantatra fa noraisina am-pahamatorana izay rehetra nataony. |
27 | “I will be teaching literature and stage acting to some university students as part of a course they are doing and this is one thing that I have wanted to do for a long time,” he says. | “Hampianatra literatiora sy teatra amin'ny mpianatra ambaratonga ambony sasantsasany aho ho toy ny taranja fanampiny ataon'izy ireo ary zavatra iray niriako atao hatry ny ela izany,” hoy izy. |
28 | As the world population grows to hit the 7 billion mark, and bleak stories are beamed by international news agencies, citizens of the world such as Chaka have found other means to make this a better place and contribute towards making a difference in their own small but very significant ways. | Satria efa hananika ny 7 miliara ny isan'ny mponina manerantany, ary ny vaovao mahamatroka hatrany no ventesin'ny fampitam-baovao iraisam-pirenena, ny olompirenen'izao tontolo izao tahaka an'i Chaka no hanome dika hafa hanaovana azy ho toerana tsaratsara kokoa sy hanatsara tsikelikely amin'ny zavatra bitika nefa misy lanjany vitany. |
