This chapter explores the complexities of performance, liveness, and theatricality as they relate to a London screening of the Ethiopian film ቁራኛዬ/Kuragnaye/Enchained (2019, dir. Moges Tafesse). It describes the event by theorizing through a lens colored by an Ethiopian worldview and tinted with tezeta, a culturally specific sense of Ethiopian nostalgia, reading the Kuragnaye screening as a means of generating a particular Ethiopian screen world. With a focus on how the imaginative storyworld of Kuragnaye is brought to life by both on-screen and live in-person performances, the chapter challenges the divide between theory and practice, and grapples with the temporary, fleeting experiences of screen cultures and how they color understandings of the liveness and ever-changing nature of screen worlds.
