Lesung
The only thing that distinguishes Black actors from others is:
The opportunity!
And who must create that opportunity?
We must do so ourselves!
With The Opportunity ‒ Screenplay, Label Noir would like to provide Black and African-American authors with a platform on which they can present their stories and experiences to an interested audience. Another goal is to give more space to Black and Afro-German perspectives in the cultural landscape, on TV and in cinemas, and to firmly establish them there.
Cultural policymakers, media-makers and producers say they are desperately looking for these subjects but can’t find them. Here is The Opportunity to put an end to their desperate search. This evening of staged readings will also offer cultural creators in key positions the opportunity to take a responsible and supportive role in the establishment of Black perspectives.
