In his play Vielleicht, French-Ivorian director Cédric Djedje lays bare Germany's colonial past, through the story of the 40-year struggle of Afro-descendants to change the names of three streets dedicated to German colonialists in Berlin's African quarter.

Djedje aims to confront “German colonial ignorance” with the work, explaining that Germany's colonial history in Africa is rarely discussed, even largely unknown, in the country.
