controversial Exhibit B performance

About 100 demonstrators smashed through the doors of the Gérard Philippe de Saint-Denis theatre in Saint Denis, just outside Paris, after two evening performances had already taken place, forcing the cancellation of any further ones.

Exhibit B presents performers in tableaux recalling atrocities and indignities inflicted on Africans under colonialism and apartheid in a form that recalls the human zoos organised in Europe in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

“The only thing they show is people in atrocious situations and atrocities are not enough to tell history,” a protester told France24 TV.

“This show makes money from the memory of our grandparents,” another commented. “The new blacks say no.”
