mach kaputt was dich kaputt macht - #1: KOMMUNIKATION

In the organizer's words:

For the punk rock scene of the 1970s, it seems to have been very clear what was ailing society - in the legendary song "macht kaputt, was euch kaputt macht", Rio Reiser names all the issues that he felt needed to be tackled.

Inspired by this, we ask ourselves what "breaksus" today.

Six composers ask themselves this question. They work on their answers in new pieces and present their themes and statements for discussion in two concerts.

#1 COMMUNICATION

We present two new works by Tobias Tobit Hagedorn in the direct environment of contemporary art. We share his critical thoughts on the subject of "communication".

Communication in difficult times - a lot can go wrong!
It's about arguing and discussing, about power relations and influencing discourses... but also about the realization that dialogue has a lot to do with listening and thinking in the first place.
