Ein Gespräch mit Thomas Hürlimann und der Literatur- und Musikwissenschaftlerin Dr. Fedora Wesseler zum Thema «Zwischen Fremdheit und Alpenmagie»
On Saturday, October 25, and Saturday, November 1, a discussion with Thomas Hürlimann and literary and music scholar Dr. Fedora Wesseler on the topic of “Between Foreignness and Alpine Magic” will take place before each performance. The discussion will focus on the dramaturgy of his dialect comedy, where the material comes from, which Alpine myths appear in the play, and how the text relates to other myths and cultures.
More information
This season, selected performances will once again be followed by in-depth discussions with experts and the artists involved. The focus will be on the myths of the world. Myths continue to enjoy unbroken popularity. But is this justified? What do they tell us about the past, present, and future—and about ourselves as human beings? Myths are stories. Myths are untrue stories, lies, and deceptions. Myths are timeless truths. Myths are models that shape our collective actions and experiences. Myths are constantly being rewritten, based on playful and free variation, and are in constant flux. Myths can also become ideologies and thus dangerous. That is what the themed talks will be about. Freely adapted from Hölderlin: “Because we are conversation and learn from each other.”
