Abstract
Francophone African theatre has been a dynamic one. Since its origin in Africa, through the colonial schools (William Ponty, 1930) up till this moment (in 2016), this theatre has not stop evolving. It now treats various sociopolitical, economical, historical and ecological themes, which are pertinent to the African contemporary reality. In Gouverneur de la rosée of the Senegalese writer, Abdou Anta Ka, (a play adapted to the novel of the same title of the Caribbean, Jacques Roumain), we examine the theme of ecology. In this article, which is based on ecocritic theory, we take a look at the elements of nature in this play in order to emphasize the effect of climate change in Africa and appreciates the solutions proposed to alleviate the inconveniences brought about by these climate change phenomenon.
