Blickwechsel – Publika und Politiken der Darstellenden Künste

In the organizer's words:

Culture is one of the most important targets of right-wing extremist forces. The ideological campaign against the arts has recently become increasingly open. "Blickwechsel" examines this development in dialog with Rimini Protokoll, Chicks*, Katharina Warda, Sibylle Peters, Julia Wissert and many other personalities.

Insights into performances and plays from across the performing arts not only show how they counteract polarization: When the queer-feminist play is discussed and selected in the citizens' jury in the Harz Mountains, the chronology of racist attacks is traced as a performative indictment in Hanau town hall and children talk about stereotypes and class differences in front of the theater doors in East Berlin, it shows in a very concrete way how the performing arts invite people to think and reflect together on a daily basis. And thus strengthen democracy in the long term.
