Set in the fictional nation of Samaismela-a vibrant stand-in for Kenya and other post-colonial societies-the play pits the Olympian gods, led by Zeus, and the mortal hero Heracles (symbolizing the Sovereigns, or global citizens) against Gaia's 12 Giants, each embodying a facet of corruption: bribery, tender cartels, electoral fraud, land grabs, judicial sabotage, cronyism, tax evasion, human trafficking, money laundering, county mismanagement, and drug trafficking. Through six acts of dialogue-driven drama, poetic performances, and mythic battles, the play explores the resilience of civic agency, the persistence of colonial legacies, and the urgent need for collective action to safeguard justice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 78\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.16 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 07, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52504125833523,"sku":"9781068813917","price":15.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/LngYQeLfxV9781068813917.webp?v=1760190795","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/the-gigantomachy-of-samaismela-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
