Together with singer and composer Sofia Jernberg, Fiston Mwanza Mujila performs excerpts from the libretto of Sunville as part of the International Literature Festival Berlin at the Haus der Berliner Festspiele. The performance is improvised, spontaneous and responsive to the space. A short conversation with both of them follows, covering Afrofuturism, the background of Sunville, and Afro-diasporic art.
