Synopsis:

"Why are we always told to help Africa, as we can't even help ourselves? How can the One-World-Dream come reality, if we denounce parts of it as The Third World?" Christoph Schlingensief . With his theater and art actions, as a filmmaker and opera director, Christoph Schlingensief (1960 - 2010) shaped cultural and political discourse in Germany over two decades. 'Via Intolleranza II' was his last play, performed with artists from Burkina Faso, where his 'Opera Village Africa' lives on as his legacy to this day. Schlingensief's figure praises himself on stage as the founder of the 'Opera Village Africa' and defames himself as a colonialist and missionary out to teach the poor about culture. The rest is an African cultural program and Western navel-gazing on the level of a promotional tour aimed at opening the audience's wallets. An excruciating balancing act between morality and reality.
