Abstract
A recent trend in Black German theatre engages with fantasy and posthumanism to criticize German racism and nationalism. In Krieg der Hörnchen (War of the Squirrels), Simone Dede Ayivi combines posthumanism and postnationalism, using German fears of invasive gray squirrels taking over the habitat of native red squirrels to reimagine xenophobic and racist debates about migration.
德国黑人戏剧最近的一种趋势是用幻想和后人道主义来批评德国的种族主义和民族主义。在《松鼠之战》(Krieg der Hörnchen)中,西蒙·德德·艾维(Simone Dede Ayivi)结合了后人道主义和后民族主义,利用德国人对入侵灰松鼠占领本地红松鼠栖息地的恐惧,重新想象了关于移民的仇外和种族主义辩论。
