Baba Moustapha

Mahamat Moustapha, known as Baba Moustapha, was born in 1952 in Chad. Trained as a lawyer, he wrote plays from adolescence; one of them, about an unmarried mother, appeared in 1972 in the journal Tchad et Culture and remains the best known in Chad. He made his name in the inter-African theatre competitions of Radio France internationale, whose grand prize he received in 1973 for a play subsequently published in Yaoundé. Together with Maoundoé Naindouba, he was one of the figures of the Chadian generation that came to the theatre through these competitions. He died in 1982.
