Flinn Works: Schädel X – Sophiensæle | Independent Theater in Berlin
Flinn Works: Schädel X
Thousands of skeletons from former colonies are being stored in the basements of German universities and museums, and these were used by academics in the name of racial research. A skeleton is the focal point of the performance lecture Schädel X, which revolves around two biographical stories. They take use to Tanzania and Germany through archives, consulates, battle fields and laboratories into the insides of our own skeletons. A (post) colonial odyssey somewhere between science, politics and theater!
