What defines the colonial relationship between Liberia and Germany? What does this relationship tell us about the larger context of Europe strangling Africa and her people for centuries? In this sensorial and multi-layered performance, Colleen Ndemeh invites audiences to do the work of confronting, remembering, and cracking open – hard shells, old wounds, dusty museum vitrines.Using her framework of the four R – “restitution, reparations, revenge and return” – she analyzes the past while staying connected to concrete demands for the present and future. She uses her Kpelle roots as a technology for opening pathways towards what comes next.What comes after centuries of colonial violence?
