What do Pina Bausch and the ZDF Hit Parade have in common, especially in terms of their nation-building character? Inspired by the subtitle “Schlagerballett” (“Hit Ballet”) of an early work by Bausch and her company, which could perhaps be described as Germany's most successful export of high culture, choreographer and performer Joana Tischkau sets out in search of ways to queer the German national narrative. In the tradition of Black German pop stars such as Roberto Blanco, Randolph Rose, Marie Nejar, and Tina Daute, the performers dance and sing their way to an aesthetic Germanness that makes sense regardless of Whiteness and heteronormativity. After “Last Night a DJ Took My Life” (Schauspielhaus Zürich), Joana Tischkau pulls out another box from the archive of the Deutsches Museum für Schwarze Unterhaltung und Black Music (German Museum for Black Entertainment and Black Music), which opened at HAU in 2020 to unpack the unlikely yet plausible matrix of Germany, showbiz, and White supremacy.
