QuestionWhat can we learn from Africa? santini297Answer
Antoschka - Ekaterina Moshaeva: We can learn a lot from African people - courage, dignity and optimism. African culture is fantastic. It´s so different. It´s so coloured. It´s so optimistic. People there live under difficult circumstances. They must survive. They must think about the next day, food and a glass of clean water. But they live on and they are happy. I was in Afrika and I saw a lot of happy people and happy children. Of course, they are very poor. But what does it mean "to be poor"? How much do you need not to feel poor? You can be poor even having all material comforts, because someone has more than you do. You may have one million, two million but there is somebody who has one trillion, you know. And you are poor. Richness of your soul, cultural riches, the capacity to be satisfied and happy in every life situation - this means a real richness. It´s the possibility to give everyone such presents as your smile and your love. This means richness. And Africa can it. When I see African people - musicians, artists or simple people - who dance and have so much positive energy. Now there is in Germany such show as "Africa, Africa" which includes a lot of nationalities from Africa and presents the whole world of African culture. I think it was a good idea of Andre Heller to make this show.
