Pop im DMA: Der König der Raubtiere (virtuell)
In the organizer's words:
The King of Predators. Orientalism, racism and cultural appropriation in Disney's world music musicals
Why are the apes in Disney's musical "Tarzan" portrayed by Black actors? What sounds so "Arabic" about the nights of "Aladdin"? And who actually makes money from the African masks in "The Lion King"?
The ethnomusicologist Nepomuk Riva presents his ethnographic research into the German musical scene, which has been dominated by the Disney group for two decades. Based on productions set in non-European locations, he criticizes racializing production practices as well as cultural appropriation, orientalizing content and music in the productions.
"Black performers playing Africa in "The Lion King" on a stage in Hamburg - this has happened in the city before: at Carl Hagenbeck's human zoos at the end of the 19th century!"
(Nepomuk Riva)
