BLICKWECHSEL – Publika und Politiken der Darstellenden Künste

A performer stands in a dark blue coat with a red fur hood on a green field. On her head, the person is wearing a kind of helmet with antlers from which strings of pearls hang. The eyes and nose are covered by a piece of glittering fabric that forms the visor of the helmet. © soilfilms Michael Weihrauch

Can a play change our perception of the relationship between man and nature?

Culture is one of the most important targets of right-wing extremist forces. The ideological campaign against the arts has recently become increasingly open. "BLICKWECHSEL" examines this development in dialog with Rimini Protokoll, CHICKS*, Katharina Warda, Sibylle Peters, Julia Wissert and many other personalities.

Insights into performances and plays from across the performing arts not only show how they counteract polarization: When the queer-feminist play is discussed and selected in the citizens' jury in the Harz Mountains, the chronology of racist attacks is traced as a performative indictment in Hanau town hall and children talk about stereotypes and class differences in front of the theater doors in East Berlin, it shows in a very concrete way how the performing arts invite people to think and reflect together on a daily basis. And thus strengthen democracy in the long term.

A film by Janina Möbius on behalf of the Fonds Darstellende Künste.

On May 25, 2024, the film premiered at HAU Hebbel am Ufer (HAU3) as part of the opening event for „THE ART OF STAYING MANY“.
