Global theatre film, with artist talk on 12 November
Attention: This event takes place under the 2G rule. Access only with a digitally signed proof (QR code) of a complete vaccination against Corona or of recovery! More information here.
“Coltan Fever: Connecting People” follows the story of the Congolese artist Yves Ndagano, who was a former child soldier and miner in a coltan mine in eastern DR Congo. His vision is to use art to change the reality of life in his homeland for the better. In “Coltan Fever: Connecting People”, Ndagano goes back to his childhood haunts for the first time and uses a wooden puppet to tell his story in the original settings: at his school, at the site of his abduction and in the coltan mines around Goma and Bukavu. He looks to confront his own story, rewriting and furthering it.
But his story does not end here. While borders remained closed for lots of people in numerous places during lockdowns, puppets mimicked the global flow of goods, and were themselves transported as a ‘commodity’, once again ending up in the hands of children. Under mostly exploitative conditions, they keep the global flow of goods flowing. In “Coltan Fever: Connecting People” they tell their stories.
In the play it says, "Le voyage continue": "Coltan fever" continues to be written. Currently, the documentary film on the project is in post-production. It is scheduled for completion in January 2022.
Following the screening on 12 November there will be an artist talk moderated by Sebastian Köthe.
For blind and visually impaired visitors we offer a German-language audio description through the GRETA app. More information coming soon.
Notes on accessibility: Information about the structural accessibility of the venue can be found here. The film looks at experiences of violence and child labour. Participation in the artist talk is voluntary.
