Berlin, Germany
Ballhaus Naunynstraße is a postmigrant theatre in Berlin-Kreuzberg, known for staging productions that centre the perspectives of people with migration backgrounds. Founded in 2008, it has become one of Germany's most politically engaged independent stages, hosting plays, performances and festivals that challenge mainstream cultural narratives.
Five performers pay tribute to Black queer Berliners who once made the city a promise of freedom, in a surreal and burlesque theatrical piece about identity, courage and resilience.
The theatrical debut of film director Yatri Niehaus, exploring Afro-German identity, the body, and the structures of a society built on whiteness. Performed in German with English subtitles at Ballhaus Naunynstraße in Berlin.
