Petermann! Eine kölsche Paranoia
In the organizer's words:
2015: Cologne celebrates a monkey. It has been 30 years since the lonely chimpanzee Petermann, who was once the biggest attraction at the 1950s carnival, attempted to escape from his cage at Cologne Zoo, seriously injuring zoo director Gunter Nogge, whom he identified as the alpha animal among the people around him. Where does Cologne's fascination with this apparently willful act of rebellion by a maltreated creature come from? And what does it say about the city's state of mind that a rebellious monkey is still remembered to this day as an icon of the need for harmony and protest in equal measure?
