Ausverkauft | Mithu Sanyal: Antichristie

In the organizer's words:

An event as part of the LiteraTour Nord 2024/25

Moderation: Matthias Lorenz

London 2022, the Queen is dead! Durga runs past the mourners: international screenwriter, daughter of an Indian and a German, and full of appetite for rebellion and hallucinations. "Antichristie" questions colonialism and the violence in all of us. Durga is to work on a film adaptation of the super-British Agatha Christie thrillers. But suddenly it is 1906, and she meets Indian revolutionaries who are by no means fighting non-violently like Ghandi. What would real resistance be in a false world?

Mithu Sanyal, born in Düsseldorf in 1971, is a cultural scientist, author, journalist and critic. Her first novel Identitti was published in 2021, was shortlisted for the German Book Prize and won several awards.

Matthias Lorenz is Professor of Modern German Literature and Comparative Literature at Leibniz Universität Hannover and Extraordinary Professor at Stellenbosch University in South Africa.
