Angela Merkel and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie in conversation with Miriam Meckel & Léa Steinacker - recorded version from 8. September 2021 - at the Düsseldorfer Schauspielhaus, Großes Haus
»Many stories matter.« With these words the Nigerian writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie ended her much-admired 2009 TED talk »The Danger of a Single Story«. We were delighted to be able to welcome two women as guests to the Düsseldorfer Schauspielhaus whose backgrounds and journeys through life could hardly be more different: Federal Chancellor Angela Merkel and the worldwide acclaimed novelist Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. In this platform discussion, publicist Miriam Meckel and journalist Léa Steinacker asked them both what they have in common.
