Luanda — The actor of Oásis theatre group, Africano Cangombe affirmed this Wednesday in Luanda, that theatre represents a weapon for people's defence and evolution.

Speaking to Angop about the importance of the theatre in the society, Africano Cangombe said that people that don't foment theatre, if they are not dead, they are dying people, as it is very important for a country development.
