Created in 2006 as a commissioned work for the Beyond Belonging theater festival, Black Virgins is based on interviews Feridun Zaimoğlu and Günter Senkel conducted with young neo-Muslim women in Germany. According to the author, the work deals with a "minority in a minority in a minority", underlining how there are relatively few orthodox Muslims in Germany. The piece has a monological structure and offers an insight into the lives of ten Muslim women who mostly wear the veil, for example "the Bosnian", "the reveler" or "the convert".
