“We can eradicate malaria - within a generation” says Bill Gates. Humans discovered a cure for malaria 400 years ago and yet up to a million people die from the bite of a mosquito every year.
Why is that? Inspired by debates about disease, medicine and belief systems, Flinn Works (Berlin) and Asedeva (Dar es Salaam) explore the unequal world of malaria in a theatre-science lab. Clinical studies oscillate with historical re-enactments, scientific choreographies and TED talks. The audience is confronted with the conflicting politics of malaria research and treatment. Drawing from individual experiences and research, the performance becomes a head spin of a journey through decades and continents, creating an atmosphere alternating between high-tech lab, village square and fever dream.
