Late-Night-Real-Talk #2 mit Burak Yılmaz, Leonie Schöler & MADANII

In the organizer's words:

Full speed ahead into the potential for conflict!

In the second edition, Burak meets Leonie. Both are united by the question of how we can communicate history in a pluralistic society and in the digital age. On this evening, they go in search of clues as to how history can be brought to their own doorstep and into their own families. The main focus is on emotional legacies and the question: What does this have to do with me?

Leonie Schöler is a German historian, journalist and presenter. Her videos about the past and current political events reach an audience of millions on Tik Tok. Her first book "Beklaute Frauen" immediately made it onto the Spiegel bestseller list. Leonie's latest production for Deutschlandfunk "Die Geschichte geht weiter - Viktor Klemperers Tagebücher 1918-1959" takes us into the world of a German contemporary witness.

Musically, the genre rebel MADANII intervenes throughout the evening. As the daughter of political refugees, MADANII weaves rhythms, languages, politics, forms and sounds into a new kind of musical and visual mosaic. In her music, MADANII tells an autobiographical story of being different, of not belonging and of being torn between cultures, intergenerational dreams, political absurdities and queer love - all reflected in a unique style that combines influences from avant-pop, alternative R&B and trap. Her unmistakable style has already earned her comparisons with artists such as Sevdaliza, FKA Twigs and Rosalía.
