Schlingensief’s opera village in Africa: A “Conversation” at the German Pavilion

Christoph Schlingensief pursued his idea of an opera village in Burkina Faso passionately. He imagined it as a “social sculpture,” a place of encounters and of dialogue. The Goethe-Institut supported Schlingensief in this project from the very beginning and continues to be committed to its development. In March, it began the “Conversations” series in Ouagadougou: workshops and discussions both in Africa and in Europe intended to support the realization of the opera village by providing creative stimuli and promoting inner-African dialogue. Now, on 2 June the second meeting will be held at the German Pavilion. Planned participants include Aino Laberenz, Susanne Gaensheimer, Francis Kéré, Chris Dercon and Simon Njami.
