KMZ Kollektif (DE/SV/MX/CU/ES): Fünf Exponate

An evening with Alex von Humboldt - scientist, namesake of the Humboldt Forum, second 'discoverer' of America! In the role of both the discovered and the discoverers, three Latinx performers break the Humboldtian gaze. In sculptures, plants, stones and their own biographies, they search for decolonial counter-histories. Using two products - potatoes and plaster - they create a dazzling web of unexpected images and dense narratives. The biographical material performance "Five Exhibits" is a plea against the Western gaze. The Latin American-European team negotiates the complex web of issues surrounding museums, heritage, appropriation, restitution, knowledge and faith, as well as the possibilities of dialog and cooperation between the global South and North.
