love theatre. hate fascism. - Theatrale Erzählungen gegen rechts.

In the organizer's words:

The perspectives of theater makers on the growing power of right-wing extremist forces in Germany oscillate between powerlessness and a declaration of war. Around 100 days after the Bundestag elections and shortly after the AfD was classified as right-wing extremist by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution, we will look at artistic strategies and theatrical narratives against fascism. What freedoms does theater have as a space for future designs? How can right-wing violence be remembered in the theater? Where does an anti-fascist theater move between political activism and art?

In MKT #10, we invite you to discuss anti-fascist narrative strategies as part of a panel discussion. Based on the contributions of two artists, we will examine theater in terms of agency, resistance and hope.

Our guest is playwright Lars Werner, whose play "The First Hundred Days", which sketches a future after the takeover of a far-right party, was nominated for the Heidelberg Stückemarkt in 2024 and celebrated its world premiere at the Deutsches Theater Göttingen in 2025.

Another guest is Aylin Esener, a freelance actress and activist who has been active in Bühne für Menschenrechte e.V. since 2014. As an actress, she combines political education and art, for example as part of the documentary theater piece "The NSU Monologues".
