DESCRIPTION:"The Madogs of Diego" is a play that situates itself at the end of the 
 colonial period, reflecting the consequences for the often forgotten 
 element in the process of decolonization: the people. The action takes 
 place on the island of Diego Garcia, formerly a part of the Mauritian 
 territory, as independence is being negotiated with the British. Through 
 the play's characters, the pubic is invited to witness how the fate of the 
 island's inhabitants, the Chagossians, is decided without their consent. \n 
 \nBoth the colonial rulers and the Mauritian independence leaders would 
 jettison the islanders' rights in pursuing their own needs. The British had 
 earmarked the island as a piece of real estate, to rent to the United 
 States for the construction of a military base, simultaneously writing off 
 some outstanding debts. At stake for the Mauritian nationalists were 
 independence and a place in history. \n \nAs for the inhabitants of the 
 island, they received dispossession, expulsion, and the systematic 
 destruction of their way of life. The play focuses on their last few days 
 on the island, before they are deported to Mauritius and banished from 
 their land. Their anxieties about the future, and anguish about the 
 imminent destruction of their way of life, are brought to the fore, 
 culminating in their transformation into the madogs (man-dogs). \n \nThe 
 Madogs of Diego. \nWritten and directed by Gaston Valayden. \nPerformed by
