sinopsis
The writing duo of Zaimoglu and Senkel have adapted the radical statements of women who could be described as “neo-Muslims” for the stage in a series of ten monologues. These reports from real life are based on interviews the authors conducted with a number of women.
In these discussions, in which the two interviewers mainly acted in a listening role, the women were able to give free rein to their sometimes very extreme views. Their ideas have been preserved, but Zaimoglu and Senkel have recast their words, transforming the women’s “voices” into an artistic, literary language. All the more do we feel the force with which the “black virgins” shamelessly demolish every aspect of the politically correct image of Muslim women who live in Germany. There is the law student who grew up with the Western education system, but also reveres Bin Laden and dreams of an Islamic revolution in Europe, which she would like to serve with her knowledge. The young woman who has run away from her village due to an affair with a neighbour displays an ambivalent attitude towards Islam. She may have left the traditional faith of her parents’ generation behind her and may live a supposedly modern, sexually liberated, self-determined life in the metropolis of Berlin, but passionately advocates the creation of a radical Islamic theocracy. The German Christian who has converted to Islam and believes she has to defend her new faith against foreigners is another contradictory figure.
