ZEITGEISTY. be part of … Revolution / Disillusion 1968-1978
With zeitgeisty, the audience travels back to the decade 1968-1978 and immerses itself in the feeling of revolution and disillusionment. It is an era that begins with the collective hope of a revolution, but is followed by abrupt disillusionment. This tension is expressed in many ways in the literature and music of this period: from the psychedelic era and the ’68ers, sexual liberation and a new environmental awareness, increasingly progressive music and protests against capitalism and the Vietnam War – to the negative climax of the German Autumn, in which left-wing protests turned into terror. But in the end, the hedonism of the disco movement brought hope. zeitgeisty is a mixture of live music, readings and entertaining storytelling. Supported by the Ministry of Culture and Science of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia in the “Regional Culture Program” and the Kunststiftung NRW. Subject to change without notice.
