Topic Talk: Cannibalisation of Culture
Accessibility
A discussion on meta-politics – a complex mechanism that uses words as weapons.
In this encounter Studio Julian Hetzel invites guests and the audience to bring critical attention to the cannibalisation of culture.
By taking over the language, the rhetorics and foremost the narrative of the political enemy, one will eventually take over the ‘cultural hegemony’ and the political discourse. This strategy, drafted by far-right intellectual Alain de Benoist in 1985, is nowadays successfully implemented in the form of a new cultural revolution. Benoist himself got inspired by the 68-generation and appropriated their strategy to make it his own. We invite you to join us on the battlefield of culture to rethink what arts can do. Bon appetit!
Topic Talks are in-depth conversations on SPRING themes: current topics that matter. What trends do we see in the contemporary performing arts field and what do they mean for the world around us?
All Topic Talks will be held in English.

When bodies with histories of colonization—past or present, or living with the ongoing reality or fear of it—take the stage? How does this dynamic unfold when the audience is primarily from a white Western background?
Topic Talk: Making the Impossible Possible
SHIFFT, Viktor Szeri
