Eopipore, ou La Resurrection("Eopipore, or The resurrection") is a comedy in three acts by Sire Barago.

The original text

Neither the play nor the author can be traced in any other source than F.C.L. Bosman (1928: p. 126), based on a newspaper advert from the Kaapsche Courant of 21 June, 1809. It was offered there as a work "translated by C.E. Boniface".

South African performances

1809: The play was apparently performed in French by the French Company led by Charles Mathurin Villet , on 1 July in the African Theatre, Cape Town, with Le Marriage de Biribi (The marriage of Biribi") (also Barago) and Oromidas, ou Le Balêt de Balais (Anon).
