DIE LETZTE KÖNIGIN

Video essay by: Édith Voges Nana Tchuinang

What is it like to be a Black actress? What role is there for her in German theater? What happens to the appropriation of cultural heritage, such as the statue of Queen Ngonnso? Édith Voge's Nana Tchuinang deals with the diverse stories of Black women. In this way, the pre-German colonial era of Cameroon and its emancipatory potential are brought into our present. The film is a direct confrontation with the historiography and practices of the global North. An opening of spaces at the interface of the documentary and the imaginary.
