The part of a play when climax approaches is known as
Akọwa Nkọwa
The part of a play when the climax approaches is known as the catastasis. The catastasis is the fourth part of a five-part plot structure that is commonly used in drama. It is the point in the plot where the action reaches its highest tension and the conflict is at its most intense. This is the moment when the protagonist and antagonist are engaged in their final struggle, and the outcome of the story is about to be decided. The catastasis is followed by the fifth part of the plot, which is the resolution or denouement, where the conflict is resolved, and the story is brought to a close. Therefore, if a play is approaching its climax, it can be said that it is in the catastasis.
