Drei Mal links ist rechts
In their new performance, Studio Julian Hetzel asks: How do we coexist with those whose beliefs are worlds apart from our own? “Drei Mal links ist rechts (Three lefts make one right)” focuses on a couple at odds. Torn between conflicting beliefs, they embody the challenge of living together under irreconcilable ideologies. A family portrait that magnifies the fractures of society.
„I love to hate you. I hate to love you.“
A performance that takes you along a political Möbius strip. What if your moral compass shifts? What if you think right but act left—or the other way around? What happens when polarization becomes so extreme we can no longer tell the difference?
This performance is an invitation for the audience to explore ideological conflicts in which violence is normalised. “Drei Mal links ist rechts (Three lefts make one right)” turns theater into a space for speculation to stage an unsettling future scenario. Everything has an end – but a sausage has two.
“Drei Mal links ist rechts (Three lefts make one right)” will premiere on 17.05.2025 at the Wiener Festwochen and will subsequently be shown in Leipzig and Utrecht (SPRING festival).
