dc.description.abstractConflict is pre-historic and in reality, it is equally universal. In essence, the mechanism of the theatre as an alternative method in resolving communal conflict was tested during the Share/Tsaragi's communal fend in Nigeria. This Directorial approach celebrates the ubiquitous dynamics of the director and theatre as tool for alternative conflict resolution mechanism. Through the qualitative method, complimented with the participant observation tool and Don Elger's The Theory of Performance (ToP) (2023), this paper examines the essence of a play director's re-modelling of the alternative conflict resolution mechanism in the Share/Isaragi communal feud in Nigeria. Findings in this study show that conflicts in many communities are exasperated by personal interest, test of strength, popularity and ignorance. The study concludes that to continue to witness peace in any environment; the need to consider religion, social interaction, dialogue and engagement epitomised in theatrical performances are channel to positive mutual benefit. It is recommended in the study that using the theatre to engage restless youths and agitating adults will be a stimulating, rewarding and educating approach that would give birth to a harmonious and long lasting relationship experience.
