Germany fighting against the “evil other” for “self-protection“ – this belief has been the basis for racist hate speech in this country up until today. Germania Girl – Concert at the Castle! combines the idea of Germany’s alleged fight with the anime genre of the Magical Girl. Set up like an episode of the series “Sailor Moon”, the story deals with an “ordinary” schoolgirl who lives in Karlsruhe. As Germania Girl, she protects her hometown from a mysterious alien power called The Other. The work expresses the complicity of the audience with Germania (Girl).
