Back in Basel after a long time, Julian Warner – known as Fehler Kuti, anti-racist activist, artist, curator, and director of the Brecht Festival in Augsburg – dedicates his new solo show to the 100th birthday of an icon of Black resistance: Frantz Fanon.

Whether in politics, economics, or war, the figure of the soldier has become a symbol of our time, and military thinking increasingly shapes our actions. This always raises the question of the necessity and justification of violence. Hardly anyone has analyzed the role of violence in a torn world as clearly as Frantz Fanon, the psychiatrist and Marxist from Martinique. He was convinced that the dehumanization caused by European colonialism could not be ended through talks or concessions, but only by smashing the colonial system itself. When is it necessary to use violence or to organize against it?

Experiences of racism are addressed in the performance. It also includes racist remarks.
