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.

Nazis and communists have one thing in common, they always have to annihilate something to make room for themselves. They’ll rebuild the palace of the republic, too, in a few years, and some day they’ll build that disney imbecility the city palace as well, and then there will be an ordinance some day that we citizens of the federal republic have to run around in historic costumes. There is no limit to the architectonic imbecility in germany. more…
