For My Negativity

Spoken Word Performance with Kagayi Ngobi

With his long poem “For my Negativity”, Ugandan author Kagayi Ngobi confronts the audience with a social system that restricts human rights and undermines democratic values. The production sheds light on the lack of prospects and oppression of young people and marginalized groups in Uganda and draws connections to current social tensions in Germany, such as the resurgence of queer and xenophobia. The actor Ismael Boerner will perform the text in German (director: Axel Brauch). After the performance, there will be a discussion with Kagayi Ngobi, moderated and translated by Annette Bühler-Dietrich. All interested listeners are warmly invited. The event will take place in German on June 17, 2025 at 19:00 in the Studiobühne. Admission is free.
