Haiti, 1804. The island, theoretically still a French colony, is in flames. The formerly enslaved population has freed itself. And as far as the eye can see, corpses - white blood. It is the last night of the revolution.

KEY VISUAL Ein Widerspruch – die Verlobung in St. Domingo
Breda, leader of the uprisings, looks over an island that now belongs to him. Babekan, his wife, sits in front of her house on her terrace with her coffee, her body is now her property. Toni, their daughter, was born with these privileges, which allows her to take a different position on what is happening.
And the Swiss Gustav, in the midst of this bitter struggle for freedom, asks for refuge from people who could have been his property just a few months ago.
Nacati Öziri's text is a contradiction to Keist's story from 1811. A text that deals with the complexity of identity and guilt.
Four characters who, due to their different life experiences, have very different answers to the question of violence and resistance. Ancestors, the soul of the island, the pulse, the ceremony. What some would call pagan, others would call divine.
