Filmscreening via ZOOM + Q&A:
LEARNING FEMINISM FROM RWANDA
Theatre Film
Rwanda has already accomplished what women in Europe are still fighting for: 61 % of parliamentarians are female. In Germany only 31 % of parliamentarians are women. This theatre film looks at the extraordinary rise of female representation in all parts of Rwandan society over the past 25 years due to gender quotas at the base of politics. This is juxtaposed with a critical view of Germany which has had gender equality written into its constitution since 1949. This raises a global question: if this rapid change was possible in Rwanda, why not in Germany and the rest of the world? With passionate speeches, protest choreographies, and stories of change and stagnation, driven by an electronic soundtrack, five performers follow this Rwandan fast-track empowerment via shining statistics through the glass ceiling and beyond. What can Europe learn from Rwanda?
This film is an adaptation of the video-live theatre performance for the screen.
