Jörg Jeshel & Brigitte Kramer – Passion – Last Stop Kinshasa (Germany, 2009) 90 minutes | Segal Theatre (70 seats)
French with English subtitles www.lesballetscdela.be
Alain Platel’s les ballets C de la B was founded in 1984. The company keeps to its principle of enabling artists from various disciplines and backgrounds to take part in a dynamic creative process.
les ballets C de la B was on tour for one year with the piece, pitié!, from director Alain Platel and musician Fabrizio Cassol. The tour took them to major capital cities including Berlin, Paris, and Tokyo. After more than 100 performances, pitié! concluded in Kinshasa, the capital of the Democratic Republic of The Congo. Following several years of unrest and political instability, the country is aspiring to new cultural horizons.
For filmmakers Jörg Jeshel and Brigitte Kramer, this was the starting point for the documentary Passion – Last Stop Kinshasa. The film is a documentary that focuses not only on the breathtaking show, but on the reactions in Congo as well.
Co-producers: Arte/ZDF
