Three artists have come together to explore their different social experiences in this performance: Marléne Douty, theater maker from Togo and current DAAD guest lecturer at the hmt Rostock, is working on the decolonization of theater. Komi Togbonou, a Togolese who grew up in Remscheid, has worked on many projects dealing with German colonial history and building cultural bridges between the African continent and Germany. Ensemble member Martin Weigel traveled to Africa for the first time in 2021 with the theater production "Wir Schwarzen müssen zusammenhalten - Eine Erwiderung" (Münchner Kammerspiele). The encounter between the three artists was the starting point for "Confessions/Bekenntnisse". In their performative research, they mark their three different positions in relation to German-Togolese colonial history and its effects to this day. The first performance was at the Munich Kammerspiele in 2023. Marléne Douty and Martin Weigel will present a revised version of "Confessions" for two performers in Rostock.
