Mukenge/
SchellhammerDialog direkt Kinshasa-Berlin2017
Gintersdorfer/Klaßen
Mukenge/Schellhammer consists of Christ Mukenge (*1988 in Kinshasa, Kongo) and Lydia Schellhammer (*1992 in Konstanz, Germany). Since its formation in 2016, the duo lives and works between Germany and Kinshasa.
The German director Monika Gintersdorfer and the visual artist Knut Klaßen create exhilaratingly physical and radical performance theatre in which they reflect an unusual view of African reality.
In Cinema Dialogue, they critically examine the United Nations’ ostensibly apolitical Millennium Development Goals.
They juxtapose the universalism of the UN programme with the local reality of urban development in Kinshasa between 2000 and the present day. With Congolese, German and Ivorian performers, they will meet artists/students from the Académie des Beaux-Arts to discuss individual views of the urban progress or ‘non-progress’ that has been made in Kinshasa in the last 15 years.
