Theater: "Traces – Discours aux Nations Africaines"
The Senegalese economist, philosopher and writer Felwine Sarr addresses the youth of the African continent with his lyrical monologue «Traces – A Speech To African Nations». His basic thesis is that the continent does not need to catch up with anyone, but must go its own way. As he describes in his internationally acclaimed work «Afrotopia», he sees the African continent as a laboratory for «a richer, more open humanity with a sharper ecological consciousness and a fairer economy that does not subjugate us». Actor Étienne Minoungou plays the protagonist of the monologue, who returns to the African continent bringing a message of hope. Without any judgement, he reports on the world as he has seen it.
In French with German and English supertitles.
Part of the Culturescapes Festival 2023.
