Under the direction of theatre director Sharon On, students from the Catholic University of Applied Sciences North Rhine-Westphalia, Department of Social Sciences, will be working on the traces of German colonialism in Paderborn in December at the Paderborn University's KleppArt – Räume für Textiles und Kultur. This is the first of three artistic collaborations in a row between the Catholic University of Applied Sciences North Rhine-Westphalia (Prof. Dr Maren Ziese) and Paderborn University (Prof. Alexandra Kürtz). The students will present the results of this process in a performance on Thursday, 21 December at 6 pm at KleppArt. The event will be framed by musician Andrea Kampelmann and her seminar group, who have composed a number of sequences specifically on the topic.
Using the method of documentary-biographical theatre, the group will explore the history and present of the city of Paderborn. The Neuenbeken Mission Museum and the Paderborn City Archive are providing support. With the help of interviews, pictures and objects from Africa, they ask questions about the past and reflect on its impact on the present.
Director Sharon On studied directing in Tel Aviv and film directing at the filmArche Berlin as well as theatre education at the Berlin University of the Arts.
