The Nairobi dates were set, and now they cross borders. This Plot is Not for Sale premieres at Goethe-Institut on 26 and 27 September; additionally, the play will be staged in Munich at the Spielart Theatre Festival on 31 October and 1 November.
Jointly performed by Gisemba Ursula (Kenya), Theresa Seraphin (Germany), and Denijen Pauljević (Germany), THIS PLOT IS NOT FOR SALE is set up in an absurd photo studio, where re-enactment, poetry, and grotesque humour collide. Three characters, Pete (Nairobi), Kathi (Munich), and Stevan (former Yugoslav) negotiate between utopia, guilt, and self-staging, with the central question: How do we see each other – and how does that affect the future we choose to build? The play features languages from each country and invites Kenyan audiences to an unexpected theatrical experience. Given the current global power shifts, the play introduces timely conversations around privilege, race, and class relations and challenges long-overstayed neocolonial traditions that remain unquestioned.
