We are tomorrow Denken

In her theatrical lecture, Das Übersehene sehen (Looking at the Overlooked), literary scholar Wendy Sutherland illustrates how 18^th century global trade, colonialism and enslavement are reflected on theatre stages of that era.

Sutherland’s research demonstrates how Black presences were and continue to be marginalised in theatre and literary studies ‒ and how this has the effect of their disappearance from the German culture of remembrance.

In the subsequent Artists’ Talk held in English, including Mmakgosi Kgabi, Branwen Okpako and Wendy Sutherland, the performer, the filmmaker and the academic, all of them retrieving the overlooked from archives, from the body, provide insights into their respective work.
