  • August Wilson (né Frederick August Kittel Jr.; April 27, 1945 – October 2, 2005) was an American playwright. He has been referred to as the "theater's poet of Black America". He is best known for a series of ten plays, collectively called The Pittsburgh Cycle (or The Century Cycle), which chronicle the experiences and heritage of the African-American community in the 20th century.

In 2006, Wilson was inducted into the American Theater Hall of Fame. His works delve into the African-American experience as well as examinations of the human condition. Other themes range from the systemic and historical exploitation of African Americans, as well as race relations, identity, migration, and racial discrimination. Viola Davis said that Wilson's writing "captures our humor, our vulnerabilities, our tragedies, our trauma. And he humanizes us. And he allows us to talk." Since Wilson's death two of his plays have been adapted into films: Fences (2016) and Ma Rainey's Black Bottom (2020). Denzel Washington has shepherded the films and has vowed to continue Wilson's legacy by adapting the rest of his plays into films for a wider audience. Washington said, "the greatest part of what's left of my career is making sure that August is taken care of". (en)

  • August Wilson (1945eko apirilaren 27a - 2005eko urriaren 2a) antzerkigile estatubatuarra izan zen. "Amerikako Beltzen antzerkiaren olerkari" deitu izan diote. Hogeigarren mendeko komunitate afro-amerikarraren bizipenak eta ondarea kontatzen zituen Pittsburgh Zikloa izeneko hamar antzezlaneko seriarengatik da ezaguna, batez ere. Serieko antzezlanen artean honako hauek aipa daitezke: Jitney (1982), Hesiak (Fences) (1984), Ma Raineyren behealde beltza (Ma Rainey's Black Bottom) (1984), Joe Turnerren etorrera eta irteera (Joe Turner Come and Gone) (1986), Piano ikasgaia (The Piano Lesson) (1987), eta Hedley II.a erregea (King Hedley II) (1999).

Bere obrek afro-amerikarren esperientzian eta gizakiaren egoeraren azterketan sakontzen dituzte. Beste gai batzuk ere jorratu ditu, hala nola afro-amerikarren esplotazio sistemikoa eta historikoa, eta baita arraza harremanak, identitatea, migrazioa eta arraza diskriminazioa ere. Bere lanek James Earl Jones, Denzel Washington, Viola Davis, Angela Bassett, Laurence Fishburne eta Samuel L. Jackson-en eszenatokietako hainbat emanaldi ikoniko marraztu dituzte. Davisek Wilsonen idazkera honela deskribatu zuen, "Gure umorea, gure ahultasunak, gure tragediak, gure traumak harrapatzen ditu. Eta humanizatu egiten gaitu. Eta hitz egiteko aukera ematen digu." Wilson hil zenetik bere antzezlanetako bi filmetara egokitu dira, Hesiak ( 2016), eta Ma Raineyren behealde beltza (2020). Denzel Washingtonek bideratu ditu filmak, eta bere ondarea jarraituko duela zin egin du, gainontzeko antzezlanak filmetara egokituz publiko zabalago baterako, "Nire ibilbidean geratzen den zatirik handiena August zaindua izango dela ziurtatzea da".
