Die Guten

In the organizer's words:

The four ancient cardinal virtues Fortitudo (bravery), Justitia (justice), Temperantia (temperance) and Prudentia (prudence) have been meeting regularly for over 2000 years to take stock of social behavior. And this year, the results are indeed positive. It seems as if a fundamental rethink has taken place. Instead of arrogance, greed and lust, after thousands of years, empathy, sustainability and solidarity are suddenly very much in vogue. "Sins are out, virtues are in!" Everyone should now be happy and content, but on closer inspection, every virtue also has negative developments to report. Skepticism is spreading. Fortitudo's advice to people would be: "Post less, fight more. Less confession, more action." And what if the psychomachia does come, the prophesied final battle between virtues and vices - wouldn't you have had to take part in the training camp beforehand to actually win the fight? Rebekka Kricheldorf makes use of the millennia-old myths of virtues and sins and questions the general trend towards do-goodery in a grotesquely satirical way. Is it all just a show or a long-awaited realization? This question puts even the virtues in existential difficulties of explanation.
